CRMS Principal's Communication
Principal's Newsletter - August 28, 2026
One of the things I love about being at CRMS is the many different ways we have to celebrate our students. Every day, our students demonstrate qualities that make us proud—not only through their academic accomplishments, but also through their effort, creativity, perseverance, kindness, leadership, and willingness to contribute to our school community.
One of the ways we recognize these accomplishments is through our Elective Classes Students of the Month. Each month, our elective teachers have the opportunity to recognize students who have stood out in their classes. Whether they are creating something in art, performing in music or drama, learning new skills in technology, or participating in one of our many other elective opportunities, these students are demonstrating the qualities we value at CRMS.
We enjoy sharing these celebrations with our community, and our school Facebook page is one of the places where you can see these students being recognized. I encourage our families to follow Castle Rock Middle School on Facebook to see this and the many other celebrations, activities, and accomplishments happening throughout the school year.
There is a lot happening at CRMS, and we want our families to be part of it. We are proud of our students and look forward to continuing to find ways to recognize the many ways they contribute to making our school such a great place to be.

Registration is now open for 7th Grade Girls Volleyball and Coed 7th Grade Flag Football & 8th Grade Flag Football. Please note that all students must have a current physical on file to participate. Physical forms are on our Athletics Page as well as in the registration website. Practices begin on Monday, September 14, 2026 after school.
School Policy for Food Delivery Services
To ensure the continued safety, security, and focus of our learning environment, we would like to remind all families that external food delivery services (such as UberEats, DoorDash, and Grubhub) are strictly prohibited for students during school hours.
Why this policy is in place:
Campus Security: Maintaining a secure perimeter is our top priority. Frequent arrivals of unidentified delivery drivers create unnecessary risks and distract our security and front-office staff.
Operational Disruptions: Our office is not equipped to manage, store, or notify students of individual meal deliveries, which often lead to missed class time.
Equity and Health: We strive to maintain a consistent environment for all students and must remain mindful of severe food allergies within our school community.
Guidelines for Lunches:
Forgotten Lunches: If a student forgets their lunch, parents may drop it off in the front office. Also, the school district provides all students with a free lunch every day.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep our campus safe and our students focused on their education.
