Castleberry High School Parents,

Beginning Tuesday, October 4^th through Friday, October 7th, 2016, Castleberry High School will implement extra safety measures on our campus due to recent social media postings concerning north Texas schools.  During school hours, the following safety measures will be in place:

1)      The front door of the school will be locked, and parents will need to call 817-252-2100 (the front office) to verify identity.  Once verified, one of the office staff members will open the door.

2)     During school hours, no parents will be allowed past the front office or foyer area.

We apologize about the inconvenience this may cause; however, we take the safety and security of students very seriously. Thank you for your cooperation throughout the week.

Sincerely,

 Dr. Amy Ellis

Castleberry High School Principal
