Celebrating another beautiful Transitional Kindergarten classroom remodel, made possible through a Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) Transitional Kindergarten Model Classroom Grant as part of the Universal Prekindergarten initiative!

Congratulations to Live Oak Elementary School and TK Teacher Brian Malette on this exciting new learning space!

This grant allowed us to transform the TK classroom into a model learning environment designed to support high-quality early childhood education and serve as a demonstration classroom for other TK educators. We are thrilled for our youngest learners and grateful for this incredible opportunity to enhance their educational experience! Los Angeles County Office of Education

💙💛 Once a CUSD student... always a part of the ! 💙💛

One of the most meaningful moments of our Welcome Back Breakfast was recognizing our Legacy Employees... former Castaic Union School District students who have come full circle and returned to serve as our teachers, instructional assistants, office staff, custodians, and support professionals across our schools and District Office.

Many of them began their journey with us as preschoolers, grew through our elementary and middle schools, and are now helping shape the next generation of CUSD students.

There is no greater testament to the culture, community, and sense of family that defines Castaic Union School District. When our students choose to come home and build their careers here, we know we're doing something special.

We are of our Legacy Employees! 💙💛
