Castle Rock Communiqué
We Love Our Knights!
February 26, 2021 (Week twenty-seven)
Happy Friday, Castle Rock Families!
I hope our students and families adjusted well to to the five-day school week.
One of the highlights of my week was getting to read aloud to our Kindergarten students and some of our First Grade students. Even over Zoom, with student microphones muted, I could feel the laughter and positive energy through the screen!
Please note that 2nd Trimester Report Cards will not be mailed home.
TK-5th Grade Report Cards will be available to view or print from your Parent Portal today (February 26th) at 5:00 pm. To view your child’s report card from home:
- log into Parent Portal
- click the GRADES tab
- click on STANDARDS BASED REPORT CARD.
Here's a handy Youtube tutorial to guide you: https://youtu.be/x5U6Hy4Tszc

Have a wonderful weekend!
