Principal’s Message
Dr. Melanie May

Dear Castle Creek Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I’m honored and excited to join the Castle Creek community. I look forward to working together to support the success of every student. At Castle Creek, we are dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each child.

Our mission is to help students thrive—not only academically, but also as responsible and engaged members of the community. We strive to create a nurturing environment that supports every student’s social, emotional, physical, and academic growth, helping them become happy, healthy, and confident learners.

Our school community is strongest when families are involved. There are many ways to participate—from joining the PTO or School Advisory Committee, to registering through ADDitions to volunteer in classrooms or chaperone field trips. We hope to see you at our school events throughout the year!

Together, we can accomplish great things. I’m looking forward to an incredible year of learning, growth, and achievement alongside our amazing students, staff, and families.

Warm regards,

Melanie May

Principal, Castle Creek Elementary School
