Castleton Elementary School

Below is a link to an annual survey seeking valuable family input. This survey asks families about student achievement, safety, and overall climate at CES. It will take about 10 minutes to complete and will be open until April 9th. The results will be used to address any areas families are concerned about. We will also celebrate areas families think we are doing well in. We will provide the results before the end of the school year. Please give us your input, and we thank you for your time. https://uconn.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80t9Hr0SHo6NXam

A huge thank you for the book donation from the Boys and Girls Club at Castleton Elementary School!

Students in Mrs. Ray's class used the book Every Month is a New Year by Marilyn Singer and Susan L. Roth, to compare how their families celebrate the New Year with other traditions around the world. Students created posters to illustrate their differences. This book was given to each classroom here at Castleton Elementary School through the CLIF Momentum Grant.
