Our annual Halloween Costume Parade will be this Thursday, October 31st from 8:30-9:00. Students will walk in a loop on our blacktop area. We ask that visitors stand on the outside of the students circling the blacktop. You will have numerous opportunities to see your student pass by.
If your family chooses to participate, please send your child to school with their costume on over their clothes-- they will be removing their costumes immediately after the parade. For safety and school appropriateness, we do not permit masks, blood or "gore," or any kind of simulated weapons (including swords, guns, knives, axes, etc.)
We will have a seasonal activity in the library for all students who choose not to participate in the parade.
We hope you can join us!

At Castlemont, we believe that learning is a collaborative process where students play an active role in shaping their own education. To foster this belief, we implement our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a framework that promotes positive behavior and reduces negative behaviors through proactive teaching, reinforcement, and intervention strategies.
To help students understand the importance of PBIS and how it applies to their daily lives, each classroom has been working on creating a unique mission statement. These mission statements serve as a guiding principle for students and teachers, outlining the expectations for behavior and how we can work together to create a positive and respectful learning community.
The mission statements are developed collaboratively by teachers and students, allowing for input from all members of the classroom. This shared process not only helps students understand the PBIS expectations but also empowers them to take ownership of their behavior and contribute to a positive school culture.
By involving students in the creation of their mission statements, we are striving to elevate learner agency and make classroom improvement a shared process. Our goal is for students to be active participants and guides in their own learning, and the mission statements are an important step toward achieving this goal.
As we continue to implement our continuous improvement, we encourage you to ask your student about the mission statement they helped create in their classroom. By understanding and supporting these statements, we can work together to create a school where all students feel safe, respected, and valued.

You have control over how and when you receive ParentSquare notifications from your child's school and district. The attached handout in both English and Spanish can tell you how.
It can be especially helpful for families who have several students, because it gives you one place to get all messages from your child's teachers, the school office, and the district.
You can choose to receive notices by email, text and/or the free ParentSquare app.
