Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
Parent Involvement
Castle’s Parent Teacher Organization, or PTO, is very active in supporting Castle teachers, students, and families. We welcome all parents/guardians of Castle students to attend and discover how critical your support is for the Castle community.
The PTO has been responsible for funding many wonderful things at Castle including:
- Field trips/retreats
- New SOCCER NETS!
- Family Nights
- Individual classroom needs
Help Raise Money
Parents, grandparents, and family members or friends can help our school by taking part in matching programs through their employers.
