Question of the Week: In an effort to improve communication we will start having a “Question of the Week”. If you have a question please email it to [email protected]. Then one of the questions submitted will be drawn to be addressed in the following week’s Viking View. Questions cannot involve personal situations among students, staff, or parents. They should be general in nature and related to public information.
This week’s question: Why does it seem like athletic schedules/game times are always changing?
Divisional Wrestling: Good luck to the Mission-Charlo Wrestlers at the Western B-C Divisonal Tournament today and tomorrow in Pablo at SKC. Action starts at 10 AM this morning.
Senior Night: Tonight the Seniors and their parents will be honored between the varsity games. The JV’s start at 4 PM, GV approximately 5:30, and BV approximately 7:00.
Big Thanks! Thanks to the staff and parents who made the elementary ski trip a success last week. The kids were great and we had fun!
Charlo JH Girls Jamboree: On February 4th we host a girls junior high basketball jamboree. We need help with running clocks, taking tickets, etc. If you can be there that day to assist please contact Lorri O’Neill our AD. Her email is [email protected].
We have water! The water is back on and running. A broken pipe was found underneath the high school building. It has been repaired and now we have the boiler, kitchen, and restrooms all working again. I want to thank our maintenance crew, Pat Marmon, Drew Dumont, Shad Andersen, Joel Fuhrman, Francis Cahoon, and Big Creek Plumbing. Additional thanks to Charlo Grocery and Coulter Auto for helping out with restrooms.
Elementary Ski Trip: January 19 is the ski trip for grades 3-5 to Lookout Pass. Sign ups were sent home last week. The bus will start loading at 7:30 or when bus route students arrive. We will try to depart by 7:45 AM. We are usually back home about 6 PM.
Legislature: There are many bills being introduced in the legislature affecting public education. Some are positive and some negative. I would encourage everyone to pay close attention to any of the bills but especially HB 203. It fundamentally changes a school district’s ability to control out of district enrollment while affecting taxpayers/school districts in a negative way. School districts in the Mission Valley will be hit harder than most due to the mobility of students throughout the Mission Valley. If you have questions about the legislature and public education bills please call the office. You can also find information on the Montana School Board Association website.
Normal School Day on Jan. 6: This Friday is a normal school day 7:50 AM to 4:00 PM.
Semester Ending: The first semester ends on Jan. 12. Please be sure to keep up with your student’s progress. High School students thinking of changing classes in their daily schedule should be visiting with Ms. Michels about those changes right now. If your student is thinking about Montana Digital Academy Classes have them see Mr. Love as soon as possible.
