School Highlights At Michael J. Castori Elementary School, we are focused on fulfilling our mission to provide every child “an unwavering focus on powerful and engaging learning experience that will prepare them for college, career, and life success.”

We know these goals cannot be achieved without the sup-port of our parents, our most important partners. Therefore, we have monthly parent meetings (coffee and conversation), an annual celebration for our parent volunteers and a Parent University program.
