Students had a great time celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday this week. And, our own Cat In The Hat, Mrs. Helen Leung, delivered books to all students in our school. Thanks to your donations and others, each student received a book on Friday, March 3. Happy Reading!!!
Please join us for the annual Spring Book Fair March 6 - March 10. The Happy Camper Book Fair will be open during lunchtime and every day after school (2:30-3:30 pm). On Wednesday, March 8 we will be hosting a Book Fair Family Night and bake sale from 5:30-7:30 pm. Bake sale donations can be dropped off at the HSC office or at the Book Fair anytime up to the start of the event. Proceeds benefit the ALL FOR BOOKS program. This program provides funds for Castlemont Students who may not otherwise get an opportunity to purchase books from the fair. So please consider supporting this very worthy cause. Thank You!
We still have volunteer positions available to help run the book fair. Please contact our Book Fair Coordinator Valerie Rountree for more information. Email: valerie.rountree [at] yahoo.com or text/call 408-849-5540. Thank you!

Castlemont is looking for interested volunteer parents to assist with the traffic congestion after school. If you are interested, please contact the office.
Student drop off and pick up continues to be a focus at Castlemont. We want our students safe and the flow of traffic to be as stress free as possible. To help divert traffic congestion, we are encouraging parents to use the side streets to park and walk to school as an alternative. When walking, and for the safety of everyone, please take the extra few minutes to use the crosswalk.
If you use Payne Avenue, there is a designated drop off zone (white painted curb) near the staff parking lot where you can drop off your child. You cannot park your car and leave it in the drop off zone. There is also an area on Barkwood Avenue that can be used, providing cars not park or block the designated bus lane.
Remember the parking lot on Payne is for staff and handicap parking only. No pick up or drop off.
The parking lot on the corner of Barkwood and Castlemont Avenues has a student drop off and pick up lane, as well as a drive through lane. It is extremely important that children do not enter or exit vehicles from the drive through lane. Doing so could cause traffic accidents and children may be injured.
Again, use the crosswalks when walking, and obey all signs and curbs that indicate No Parking zones. The SJPD, as well as parking enforcement, have been notified about the congestion times before and after school. Please help us protect our students by following traffic laws in school zones.
Thank you for your support of the 80s Dance fundraiser. It seems like families "rocked out" and had a great time. All of the money raised will support Castlemont classrooms!
Do you have any elementary age books that you would like to donate? If so, Castlemont would appreciate your donation this February. If we receive enough books, our goal is to give each Castlemont student a book during Celebrate Reading Day on March 1. So, please consider donating one or more gently used books to the school. You may drop them off in the office or classroom. Thank you for your support.
