The Knights' Scroll for Parents
Hello Castle Park Students and Families,
What a great start to the 2023-2024 school year! It was such a pleasure to have our students on campus and see their excitement about being back to school. We have received so much positive feedback from students and staff about the positive vibes on campus. Let's keep this positivity going as we enter Week 2 of the school Year!!
Our ASB students did an incredible job coordinating our first assembly of the year to introduce our staff. I was so impressed with the behavior and respect that our students demonstrated during the assembly. All students exemplified safe, respectful, and responsible behavior. Great job, Knights! It truly made me proud to be the Principal of our Castle Park Middle School Knights.
Please see below for important information to help your students continue with the transition back to school.
