Please join us for the annual Spring Book Fair “Feeling Groovy About Books” The fair will be open during lunchtime and most days after school (2:30-3:30 pm).  Please see the signs on campus or on our website for more information. On Wednesday, March 16 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!

We want to see more students and parents riding their bikes to school! We know bikes need a lot of maintenance and that’s why we’ve invited the BikeMobile to provide Free Tune Ups for all parents, students and teachers at our school! Last year’s event was very popular, so be sure to turn in your sign-up sheets quickly.

If your bike or your child’s bike is making one of those mystery sounds or collecting dust because it has a flat tire, bring it to school on Wednesday, March 23. The BikeMobile can fix flat tires, adjust brakes and gears, and even replace broken or worn out parts like chains, seats, and tires. The only thing it can’t do is replace missing wheels or gears. While the mechanics work on your bike they’ll explain how it works and how to keep it running smooth. Space is limited, so please show up early to secure a spot. Bike or no bike, everyone is welcome to attend to learn about maintenance, safety, and more!

The Bay Area BikeMobile is a Spare the Air youth program funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The program is implemented by Local Motion.

CAASPP Testing Information

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), formerly known as SBAC, will be given to our 3rd-5th grade students within a 6-week window starting in April through May. If you choose, you can have your child begin practicing the state testing by using the following link on a desktop or laptop computer (phones and tablets will not work): http://californiatac.org/practice-and-training/index.html Select "Student Interface Practice and Training Tests". Next, choose “Guest” for the log-in information. Pick the appropriate grade level so that your child is practicing the correct assessment.

We appreciate your support by making sure your child is well prepared for the assessments.  Make sure your child has a nutritious breakfast, gets plenty of sleep and arrives to school on time.  We also ask that you avoid scheduling appointments during the instructional day so not to interfere with your child’s school day.

A Message from Superintendent Andrew

Federal Court Judge Kimberly Mueller held a hearing to amend her recent ruling pertaining to the protocol for releasing personally identifiable student information by the California Department of Education (CDE). She noted that the large number of objections the court has already received did indicate a high level of concern from the public.

The amended protocol calls for a court-appointed special master for discovery who will have to approve which data the plaintiffs can receive from the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CaLPADS) database. More details are on the district website. (www.campbellusd.org)
