Message from the Principal – Ms. Ivy Sarratt
Welcome to the 2010-11 school year! I want to take this opportunity to welcome our new Assistant Principal, Alexandra Friel. Ms. Friel taught in the district 5 years before leaving for other educational opportunities in Los Angeles and Palo Alto. She is now back in the area and is looking forward to working with our amazing Castlemont students, staff and parent community. When you’re on campus, please take a moment to introduce yourself to Ms. Friel.
The first days of school are an exciting time for our students and their parents. As we begin the year we will continue to focus on providing a safe place for our students to be academically successful, socially responsible, and physically healthy and active. As your child transitions into the new year meeting his/her teacher and making new friends while reconnecting with old ones, remember to take a few minutes and ask your child about their day.
Castlemont is always in need of volunteers in the classroom and for before and after school parking supervision. If you would like to become more involved please contact your child’s teacher or the office staff. Your participation is always appreciated as we strive to work together to support our students.
Lastly, look for a new feature in this year’s courier. It will be a life skill of the month with resources and activities that you can continue to implement at home with your child. Students will be learning about these life skills in the classroom and at our monthly Spirit Assemblies.
