Castle View Family Newsletter
January 27, 2023

Hello, Castle View Families:
Students have completed the registration process through the Academic Planner in Infinite Campus. We are on track to have current CV student schedules ready for them to view by the middle of May so that we can complete schedule corrections before summer break. I know that our students are worried about how the shift in schedule might impact their plans, and I think that having some certainty will help ease some anxiety.
I hope to see you at the CV School Accountability Committee meeting on February 1 at 6:30 in the back of the library. We will continue our discussion about our unified improvement efforts, and I will seek additional feedback about how to allocate our budget in alignment to our priorities. I would love to hear from and partner with you.
As always, thank you for sharing your kids with us. It is our honor to serve them.
