Hello, Castle View Families:
A couple of important reminders about next week:
- Monday, October 31 is a staff professional learning day-- there is no school for students. I hope your family has a safe and happy Halloween!
- On Wednesday, November 2, we will have our next School Accountability Committee Meeting in the library. We will continue to analyze the results of our SAC Survey and begin a conversation about our school budget. I hope you'll join us at 6:30 in the library!
