The Castlemont Student Leadership Team would like to thank our school community for supporting our Sweet Treats Fundraiser to benefit the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA.  We raised about $550 which we will be donating straight to the organization so that they can purchase much needed items off their wishlists. In addition, we will be giving them a bag of handmade cat toys made with love by the SLT.  Thanks again for supporting all of our community projects this year.  We are proud of this year's accomplishments made possible from the hard work of our dragon leaders!
 
With appreciation, 
Mrs. Chinbong, Ms. Chong, & Mrs. Biggs

Hello Castlemont Families,

On the eve of the last day of school, I would like to thank all of you for your support throughout this school year.  Our staff has worked harder than ever to provide our students with quality instruction, social-emotional learning, a clean and safe environment, and regular communication.  For those of you moving on to middle school, we wish you all success. For those of you staying with us, we will eagerly welcome you back on August 18th for our 2022-23 school year! Have a restful summer.

Dear Castlemont School Families:

Next week is filled with many additional activities for students’ last week of school—including three shortened days. With that in mind, and with the additional at-home test kits being sent to families, we have decided that there will be no COVID-19 testing here on the last week of school.

 

Sincerely,

Kristen Prindle, Principal
