Students at CISD Get Extra Support Through Mentoring |
|
| |
 Teachers and staff at Castleberry ISD strive to ensure all students have what they need to succeed. Kathryn Gilpin, 4th grade teacher at A. V. Cato Elementary and Jason Martinez, Counselor, thought one way to help those that need some extra time and care was through mentoring.
Thanks to the efforts of Ms. Gilpin and Mr. Martinez, many of our students are starting to get a little extra support from male role models in the community. Ms. Gilpin, and her husband, Taylor Gilpin, have recruited 8 young men to mentor and mold 30 of our students. Mr. Martinez arranged for Army and Navy Reserves in the area to lend support to 28 additional students as their mentors. The Reserves also adopted 4 classes!
"The students were a little nervous, at the beginning," Mr. Martinez said, whe n asked how the students reacted to getting mentors. "They were really unsure what to expect." But that all changed after a successful Meet & Greet with pizza, as well as a luncheon, was held in December 2011. Now, Mr. Martinez says, "They think it's super."
Starting January 23rd, the mentors began meeting with the students. They will get together about once every month, meeting on campus only.
CISD Superintendent Jones said it best when spreading the news about the mentoring program, "Many lives are changing in a positive way around here!" |

| Updated Security & Safety Measures at CISD |
 Students and staff at Castleberry ISD are getting safer than ever on campus. CISD is in the process of installing a new security system that includes card access readers, cameras, and a visitor electronic sign-in system. The readers will be on exterior doors, with cameras on the doors, as well.
The new system, with its new card access readers, operates on the CISD network. When the system is live, all the exterior doors are locked on a predetermined schedule. After that, only the principal and staff with security badges that can be read by the card access readers will be able to gain entry.
The visitors' updated, computerized sign-in system is already up and running at the CISD Administration Building and Joy James Elementary. Before the end of January 2012, visitors to both Irma Marsh Middle School and Castleberry High will also be using this system. They must enter in the main office to sign in, which insures Security and Administration are always aware of who is on campus at all times.
The installation of the updated card reader system is still in process at some of the campuses. However, three campuses are up and running on the new system. Those are...
- Irma Marsh Middle School -October 2011 (Live date)
- Castleberry High School - December 2011 (Live date)
- Joy James Elementary School - January 2012 (Live date)
CISD is delighted to be able to offer this extra level of security to our students and staff to ensure a safe and secure learning environment for students and staff.
