A Message from Principal Sarratt

October 13, 2015:

It was great to see so many of our students and parents walking or rolling to school last Wednesday, during the International Walk and Bike to School Day.  It was a huge success for the Castlemont community.
Remember these tips from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration.
When crossing the street your child should always:

• Cross at a corner or an intersection
• Stop at the edge of parked cars, the curb, or other vehicles
• Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT  for moving cars
• Cross when clear, and keep looking left and right
• Walk, don’t run or dart into the street
• Look for signs that a car is about to move (rear lights, exhaust smoke, sound of motor, wheels turning)
• Walk alertly; use your eyes and your ears to increase your safety. 
• It’s also important to demonstrate the good behaviors you want your child to practice.
