Familia y amigos de Castlemont HSC,
Hemos comenzado oficialmente nuestra recaudación de fondos con Charleston Wrap®, ¡y necesitamos SU ayuda! Para alcanzar nuestras metas y hacer que esta recaudación de fondos sea un éxito, necesitamos que todos hagan su parte. Por suerte, ¡es muy fácil! Encontrará un folleto que se envió a casa el martes en el sobre de su estudiante con instrucciones detalladas sobre cómo puede registrarse en línea y apoyar nuestras metas. ¡Agradecemos todo su apoyo y lo alentamos a correr la voz entre sus amigos y familiares, cerca y lejos! ¡Cuanta más gente compre, más dinero podremos recaudar para nuestra organización! Juntos, podemos garantizar que nuestra organización alcance su objetivo, ¡e incluso lo supere!
¡Gracias por tu ayuda!
Hello parents! Please see attachments with the Home and School Club (HSC) event calendar and Spirit Wear Pre order Form. You can download it or pick up a copy in the office.
Dear Castlemont Parents/Guardians,
To state the obvious, it's going to be very hot this entire week, above or close to 100 degrees. With safety in mind, Tuesday through Friday, students will be eating lunch in the cafeteria and spending their play time in their classrooms. Morning recess and breakfast will remain outdoors. We will not send any play equipment out with students at recess in order to limit physical exertion. Please send your student(s) to school with a water bottle.
Thank you!
Kristen
Hello Castlemont Families,
What a great first week we have had. With the return of greater normalcy, we were able to hold our Family Picnic on Tuesday evening. It was wonderful to see so many families enjoying each other's company-- children playing on the play structure and joining impromptu relay races led by parents, picnic blankets all over our field, and lines of people for Manzi's Venezuelan Cuisine and Kona Ice. We received a great deal of positive feedback and had multiple requests to do it again, which we would love to do!
Our next invitation to you is to Back to School Night next Tuesday, August 30th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. Please join us in the Multi-Use Room (MU) at 6:00 for an introduction to our 3rd-5th grade teachers and other Castlemont community information. You will be able to visit your child's classroom immediately after the meeting. We will repeat this plan at 7:00 for our TK-2nd grade parents.
In September, Mrs. Bell and I will hold our first Coffee with the Principals of the year. Parent-Teacher conferences are in early October. Our Home and School Club sponsored Jog-a-thon has been moved to late October -- more details to come. Many more community events are in the planning stages right now. Stay tuned!
We are looking forward to seeing all of you on campus this year!
Yours sincerely,
Kristen

Seeking Sponsors for October’22 Castlemont Jog-A-Thon T-shirts
Castlemont Home & School Club (HSC) is seeking family and corporate sponsors for our annual Jog-A-Thon t-shirts.
Wait – did you say October Jog-A-Thon? Yes! Jog-A-Thon will be in the fall this year! HSC expects to save more than $2,000 by moving the Family Festival to the spring and holding Jog-A-Thon in the fall.
We can save this money by eliminating the expensive rented gas lighting for the festival and at the same time reduce our festival greenhouse emissions. Save the date for JAT on October 28th !
HSC provides each student and faculty member a t-shirt to wear during the Jog-A-Thon event. Artwork drawn by a Castlemont student is on the front of the t-shirt. Corporate sponsors and family sponsors are displayed on the back of the t-shirt.
