Happy New Year and welcome back to school! We hope that you had a safe and healthy Winter Break, and that your holidays were filled with warm, happy, memorable moments with your families. The new year is always a time of reflection. While the past year had some ups and downs with staffing changes and lots and lots of snow, we continued to move forward. We have put a focus on our students' academic, physical, and social-emotional growth. What that means to us is that each day we strive to deliver the best instruction based on what our students each need individually. This is done in each of our classes through one on one, small group, and whole class engaging instruction.

The colder weather is definitely here! A reminder to bundle up your students warmly! An extra pair of labelled socks and mittens in their backpack is always a great idea! Research shows that regular fresh air and exercise increase student learning. Our students will go out to play unless it is raining, snowing, icy, or really cold outside. With that, I would like to remind all families of our playground expectations during this winter weather. In order for students to play in the snow on the playground they must have snow pants, boots, hats, and gloves. In the event that a student does not bring boots or snow pants to school, they will be allowed outside, but will have to remain on the sidewalk and blacktop area where the snow has been cleared. As we will have snow and ice over the next few months keep a lookout each morning for text messages, emails, and phone calls in case we need to inform you of late start or school closures for inclement weather (snowy) days.

On behalf of all our staff, we sends our best wishes to all of our Castle Rock families for a safe, happy, and healthy 2024!
