Castlemont Elementary School

Message from the Principal, Ms. Ivy Sarratt 8/19/15

Welcome Artto a new school year!  We are so excited to start the year with an invitation to join us next Thursday, August 27, from 5:00-6:30 PM, on the fields for our annual Family Picnic social.  Bring your dinner and a blanket and join other Castlemont families and get reacquainted while also meeting new parents and their children.  It’s a family friendly way to get to know the Castlemont community, which is always a fun and supportive group. 

While you were enjoying your summer we had some changes in staff. Mrs. Shev and Ms. Skeels retired!  Ms. Yang, Ms. Stephanos and Ms. Purvis are teaching at other schools in Campbell. Ms. Chong returned to her family in Indiana and Ms. Calverley has taken a teaching position in San Mateo, closer to home. They will all be missed and I know their new school will embrace them with open arms. 

The changes brought new hires to our school.  Please welcome to Kindergarten Samantha O’Donnell and to 2nd grade Alyssa Friesen, Katherine Barbin, and Stephanie Ballejo.  In 3rd grade are Ute Gillett and Charity Bolanos.  New to 4th grade are Michelle Biggs and Emily Michael.  Lyndsey Garner will be teaching 3rd-5th Special Day Class. Ms. Julie Portales will be our lead greeter during morning drop-off and our yard duty lead during the day.  We are thrilled to have them as part of the staff and school community. On behalf of the Castlemont staff, we look forward to the new school year and to seeing you at our annual Family Picnic on the 27th.
