Family Movie Night

We hope that all of our Castle Rock Families will be able to come enjoy the fun!
Can Recycling Drive- 8th Grade Fundraiser
Our 8th grade students are raising money for their 8th Grade Trip at the end of the school year. They will be collecting cans to take to be recycled for the remainder of the school year. If you have aluminum cans that you would like to donate, please send them with your student and turn them in to the school office. It would be great if they were completely empty and in a bag when they are dropped off. We will take them every week or so to the recycling center, so when ever you get a collection of them feel free to send them in. All funds from the recycled cans will go to help pay for our 8th Grade Trip.
Enrollment is now OPEN for next school year!
Castle Rock is starting enrollment for the 2024-2025 School Year. We are accepting enrollment for all grade levels (TK-8) for next school year. If you have a Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten student not currently enrolled that you would like to enroll for next school year, come on in any time to complete the enrollment process. Also, If you know of a family interested in enrolling their student(s) here at Castle Rock let them know that they can come on in to enroll them as well.

Message from Leslie Rames
Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope everyone had a chance over the break to spend some quality time together with their families. Now that it is Spring the nights seem longer, the flowers are beginning to bloom, the grass is growing, and the weather gets warmer. Students begin to become more anxious for the start of summer break. We have many activities coming up in the last couple of months of school. Our students have worked hard all year and now is the final push for all of us. Parents can help: set good bedtime routines, prioritize punctuality, and speak with your child about sustained effort. Let’s make the final weeks of this school year both positive and productive.
Our 3rd-8th grade students will take the California Smarter Balanced/CAASPP Assessment during the 2nd-4th weeks of May. The CAASPP is a very important assessment for our students and our school. Please try to make sure that if you are scheduling appointments for your student(s) during this time that they are after school so that your student doesn’t miss an assessment. Student are more successful when they take the assessment with their class rather than when they make it up separately. We will send out more specific information as we get closer to the assessment.
All of our students will take the End of the Year I-Ready Benchmark Assessment the last few weeks of school. The i-Ready Assessment will provide us with data to show how much each student has improved this school year when we compare the end of the year results with those from August. This data is great information for the school and for parents so that we know how to help our students over the summer and next school year. It also provides the school with much needed information when determining appropriate programs for the school.
We have lots of events happening during the next few months, so make sure to keep your eyes out for flyers, emails, calls, and texts from the school.
Have a fantastic April!
