Principal's Message

Please read on for news about our Dragon Awards assemblies, SCRIP orders, and Spring Festival Planning.

Hello Castlemont Families,

I hope you were all able to enjoy some time with family and friends last week. I love this time of year both at home and at school. With only three weeks until our two-week break, we have full calendars!  Please take a look below for information about several school-related items.  

DRAGON AWARD ASSEMBLIES

DATE: Thursday, December 1st.

WHERE: Castlemont Multi-Use Room

TIME: Varies by grade level

 Your teacher will send you an invitation if your child will be receiving an award this month. The character trait of gratitude will be featured. 

 SCRIP ORDER FORMS FOR A PAINLESS DONATION TO CASTLEMONT

Check your child's backpack or Monday folder for our Home and School Club SCRIP gift card order form. SCRIP is a great way to donate to our school while shopping! Available gift cards include everything from Safeway to Barnes and Noble to Sephora, and Castlemont receives a donated percentage of each card's value.  The order forms are due back quickly-- please return them to us by next Tuesday, December 6th. 

CASTLEMONT HOME & SCHOOL CLUB SPRING FESTIVAL PLANNING MEETING

DATE: Thursday, December 8, 7:30 to 8:00 pm via Zoom (details below)

 Our Spring Festival is currently planned for Friday, May 19. Come join for a discussion on next steps for a successful event. We have many volunteer opportunities with effort levels ranging from low to high. If you can’t commit to a volunteer task, we’d still love to have you join the discussion and provide your input!

We are urgently looking for:

  • at least 2-3 people to lead the planning / organization efforts (without these volunteers in place by mid-January, the event will be canceled)
  • help with meeting translation (English to Spanish)

 Questions?   Please reach out to Castlemont.HSC.BOD [at] gmail.com
