Good morning friends and family. As the days are going by, we are noticing that students are arriving without their masks. It is absolutely mandatory to wear a mask upon entering the building as well for riding the bus. Unfortunately, we are unable to keep up with the demand for masks for students. We kindly ask parents/guardians to make sure students have a mask before leaving home. Thank you all; stay safe and warm!

Good evening Chalo community, Please see below correspondence from our Education Director, Ray Irwin, on behalf of our Community Education Authority. Due to the Covid19 activity in our community (Fort Nelson), it has been decided that Chalo will close for the week of December 14-18th and resume January 4th.... We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and that this is very short notice.
