Our Home & School Club is offering sponsorships for businesses and families for our 2018 Jog-a-Thon t-shirts. 

If you'd like to advertise your business and/or your family would like your name to be included on the back of the Castlemont Jog-A-Thon T-Shirts, this is your opportunity! Flyers with detailed information were sent home in the April 2nd Monday envelope. Additional flyers are available in the office and at http://www.castlemonthsc.weebly.com. The deadline to submit sponsor forms is April 20th. If you have any questions please contact Emily, eloek [at] yahoo.com.​

The spring picture proofs have been delivered to the teachers. Most teachers will give them to their students this Thursday, April 5 or Friday April 6. If you wish to purchase a picture package, you may do so on-line or with the order form envelope which is provided. You will find even more backgrounds available on-line than those on the order form. If you wish to order with the envelope, make your selections insert money, and return the envelope to the office or your teacher.

We hope you enjoy next week's Spring Break (no school April 9-13)! Relax, get some fresh air, and we'll see you refreshed and ready to learn on Monday, April 16.

This year, our students in grades 3–5 will participate in the statewide testing program called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). The tests in the CAASPP System provide information to teachers, parents/guardians, and students about students’ progress and readiness for college and career.

Our school’s testing dates are:

• 3rd-5th grades May 1 - May 24

We ask that all appointments are scheduled outside of regular school hours so as to not disrupt you students testing experience.

For tips on how to help your child do well on tests, go to www.campbellusd.org/files/testpreptips.pdf or ask your child’s teacher.

If you would like more information about the CAASPP System, please visit the Parent/Student tab of the CDE’s CAASPP Web page at www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/index.asp?tabsection=3#ssr.

If you have questions about your child’s participation in CAASPP, or your right to have your child opt out of testing, please contact the Castlemont office.
