School culture is an important element in any effective school. At C.A.S.T.L.E., based on our H.E.L.P.S. plan, our goal is to instill in students not only skills, but proper habits and behavior. We aim to build a culture of achievement in our school and desire for excellence in our students.
Similar to other high-performing schools, C.A.S.T.L.E. will set high expectations for students. Students will behave responsibly and maturely, focusing on learning and achievement, and showing kindness and respect to themselves, other students, adults, and school property.
Successful C.A.S.T.L.E. students attend class on time, ready to learn; study; follow the dress code (what to wear and how to wear it); complete all assigned homework; and follows all established policies and procedures of the school. To learn more about the school culture, policies and procedures, pick up a copy of the Student Handbook from Student Services.
The following gives more information about C.A.S.T.L.E. that every student should know:
C.A.S.T.L.E. employs a dress code that includes tops/shirts, bottoms/pants, belts and headgear. Students at C.A.S.T.L.E. are expected to wear uniforms on a daily basis. The uniform includes a polo-style shirt, with school logo embroidered on left chest. The basic colors are black, white, and gold. Uniforms shirts are also available in varied colors (to be worn on select days only) and must be purchased at the school.
Only students in dress code are permitted in the building for attendance. Details on the dress code policy are provided in the Enrollment Office.
