Follow the following links for your student's grade level to see your child's teacher and room number. You'll need your student's five digit ID numbers to find your child on the list. If you don't have your ID number, you will be able to find your child's placement in the morning. Look for people with clipboards. They will have your child's name and teacher's name.

Please remember that class assignments are temporary and may be changed based on student needs and enrollment.

The campus opens at 8:00 am and the final bell rings at 8:20. We're looking forward to seeing everyone!

“Building resilient bridges between home, school, and our local community is an area of focus for me,” said Castlemont’s new Principal Kristen Kimoto Prindle (pictured, back row, wearing red). “I believe that success for every student starts with a strong sense of belonging and connection to our school community.”

Her education career spans 15 years, including 10 years as a teacher in Moreland School District, four years as Assistant Principal at Rolling Hills Middle School, and now begins her first year as Principal here at Castlemont. She and her family live in south Santa Clara County.

Joining her is new Assistant Principal Edith Mancera de González (pictured far right). “It truly takes a village to educate a child, and relationships are key to learning,” she said. “If we reach a child’s heart, soul and mind, we become more than educators. We become agents of change.”

Mancera de González, a former Principal in Alum Rock School District, has 14 years in dual immersion education and experience in teaching at the elementary and middle school levels. She and her family live in San Jose.

Welcome to Castlemont School!

Dear Castlemont families – I want to take this moment to say thank you to each and every one of you for the privilege of working with you these past three years.  Though my time at Castlemont was short, I will always be grateful that I was afforded the opportunity to be a part of this extraordinary community.   I look forward to seeing many of you at Monroe in years to come.
