A Message from the Principal Mr. Eric Brown 8/31/16

Castlemont is off to a great start for 2016-17 and we want every child to have a great year.  One component to your child’s success is to be in school every day.

Research shows that children who are in school every day do better in school.  The reason?  When students miss a day of school, it actually puts them two days behind their classmates.  Students who are absent an average of 15 days a year, miss a year’s worth of school by their senior year of high school.  Student who are 10 minutes late every day, miss 30 hours of instruction in just one school year.

Additionally, schools are responsible for teaching your child, but we need your child at school in order to teach him/her.  Every day counts, every minute counts and, again, we want you child here, at Castlemont, to learn!
