Hello Castlemont Parents and Caregivers,
We are always looking for ways to improve, and your opinions, ideas, and feedback are an important part of this process. Please take four minutes to take our
School Experience Survey. You can also access the survey using the QR code:
Our staff and our 3rd-5th grade students are also taking the survey.
Thank you!

Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: Monday 2/10, Wednesday 2/12, and Friday 2/14 during lunch recess and after school.
Location: Library
More information can be found on our school’s Book Fair homepage: tinyurl.com/Fair25
While you’re there, you can set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash.
When you fund an eWallet, you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called “Share the Fair.” These contributions will go directly towards providing one free book (under $7) to every student at Castlemont during the Fair.
We still need volunteers to make it happen! Please email me at: ahenry [at] campbellusd.org () if you would like to help out.
Happy reading!

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.
Get ready for our 2024-25 school play! The Castlemont Elementary Drama Club is proud to present "The Great Big Holiday Bake Off". This heartwarming and humorous play is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
