Hello Castlemont Families,
Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! We are so excited to be starting the year with all of you. Whether your child is a 5th grader starting their seventh year as a Castlemont Dragon or they will be arriving on August 20th for their first day of school, we have a great year in store for you. Perhaps it sounds immodest, but Castlemont is a special place, and our staff and students are the BEST.
The following is long, but please give it a careful read…
Classroom Assignments will be available on ParentSquare after 4:00pm on August 19th.
