The HOWL
Chief Charlo Elementary School News - 1st October Edition
Welcome back everyone! We are excited for a new school year!
FRONT OFFICE NOTES
Absent Notifications for Your Student
MCPS has a new Student Information System, Infinite Campus, that works in tandem with our existing Blackboard messaging system. All attendance calls are based on attendance data that is in the Infinite Campus system at 9:30am each day. If you call our office after 9:30am, you will likely still receive the District's automated attendance call.
=====================================
October 15 - Deadline for MCPS Annual Forms. Please have your MCPS Annual Forms submitted on or before this date to avoid your student's digital access being shut down.
We will be completing our annual forms online this school year via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal found on the MCPS website (www.mcpsmt.org). If you would prefer to complete the forms on paper, contact our school to request a paper packet from your student's teacher.
If you have already completed these forms, then no further action is needed.
=====================================
Free breakfast and lunch - Thanks to an extension of the support from the US Department of Agriculture, ALL Chief Charlo students will continue to receive a free breakfast and lunch for the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year.
=====================================
* Please note that ALL students are dismissed at 2:30pm on Thursdays this year.
=====================================
* Looking ahead - School Picture Day - Nov 3

Families in Transition (FIT) Program
The Families in Transition (FIT) Program is here to assist Chief Charlo students and families experiencing housing instability (McKinney-Vento Act) and/or economic hardship. FIT works as a bridge between those families, our school and the district staff to empower students to stay in school and remain successful both in school and as lifelong learners. FIT also provides families access to community resources and services.
FIT is here to support your family, because we care about all of our Wolves - BIG and small!!
