School News

Dear Castlemont Families:

To protect everyone at our school, please continue to monitor the health of your child(ren) every day for any COVID19 symptoms. 

If your children are not feeling well, please keep them at home and report the absence to the school—especially if they are displaying cold, flu or COVID19 symptoms. Symptoms include: 

• Fever or Chill

• Cough

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

• Fatigue

• Muscle or body aches

• Headaches

• New loss of taste or smell

• Sore throat

• Runny Nose or Congestion (test only if combined with other symptoms)

• Nausea or vomiting 

• Diarrhea

There are also five symptoms to keep an eye out for when it comes to the Omicron variant: 

• Fever

• Runny nose

• Throat pain

• Dry Cough

• Body aches

If any of these symptoms exist, have your children tested at a clinic or test site to determine whether they are positive for COVID19. Home tests are not accepted. Please report positive results to the school health office.  

If anyone living in your home is infected or if your student has close contact with an infected person, your student must stay home-- then please call our office ASAP at         408-364-4233.

Vaccine Clinic This Saturday, Jan. 8, at Rosemary School

According to the CDC, vaccines remain the best public health measure to protect people from COVID-19, slow transmission, and reduce the likelihood of new variants emerging. COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and death. The CDC recommends that everyone 5 years and older protect themselves from COVID-19 by getting fully vaccinated, and that everyone 12 years and older get a booster shot after completing their primary COVID19 vaccination series. 

Dear Castlemont Families,

Our focus trait for the months of November and December is gratitude.  Our students and adults are practicing intentional observance of the good things provided by others and the happy parts of our lives.  A simple but sincere "thank you" is powerful and can start an entire cycle of positivity. 

I hope you will take a moment to ask your child about gratitude and what it means to them in order to further strengthen the home-school connection. 

From our staff to your family, thank you for allowing us to serve your children.  Have a safe and restful holiday week.

~Kristen
