Superintendent's Message
Message from Leslie Rames
As our summer has begun, I would like to express how grateful I am to be a part of such an amazing community of students, parents, and staff. This was an fantastic year filled with great memories and exciting events! Our students learned, achieved, and accomplished so much. We continued some amazing traditions such as Heritage Day, Christmas Craft Day, etc. We also began some fantastic new ones such as movie nights, our phenomenal Christmas Play, and many others.
Our year ended with a wonderful awards assembly filed with pride and celebration of student accomplishments and our 8th Grade Graduation in which we honored an amazing group of 11 students. We are very proud of all of students and their successes.
Looking ahead, we have many exciting new initiatives that we are bringing to Castle Rock, such as Pear Deck Tutoring which is a online tutoring service that our student will have unlimited access to at school and at home to help with any academic area. We will also be adding to some of the initiatives started during this current school year.
A special thank to all of our parents as you have contributed in so many small, large, and unimaginable ways!. The partnership between home and school, is so important. Our hope is to continue to build on this partnership this upcoming school year by providing parents with more options of how to help their students at home and ideas on how to be an even more powerful partner with our school.
Keep looking out for emails from the school regarding information for the upcoming year. You can also check out our website, Facebook page, and district app for regular updates throughout the summer.
Wishing you a summer break filled with joy, relaxation, and memorable moment with your families. The first day of school for 2024-2025 is Thursday, August 15, which is a minimum day. See you next year!
