Hello and welcome to a new school year.
As we enter the 3rd school year of the COVID pandemic, Cascade Schools will continue to do everything we can to ensure that our students receive the best possible education. Facemasks will be optional this school year unless there are major changes with how the county and state handle COVID. Please do not come to the school or send your students to school if they are sick. The school is still providing testing and can test students and staff as needed.
Cascade Schools has great students, and I’d like to thank you for the opportunity to work with your children. We owe it to our students to provide them with the best education possible. It is the mission of Cascade Public Schools to ensure that our students learn and learn at high levels. Our school board and administration have been working hard in the past year to give our students the best possible education we can. We want our school to become one of the best schools in the state.
There have been many changes between this year and last year. Those changes have taken place to allow us to ensure our students are learning at high levels. We aren’t making these changes because our school has done poorly with student learning in the past but because we know we can do better and our students deserve for us to do better.
The elementary school has made great strides in student learning, and the school is going to continue the process into the Junior High and High School. We are very excited to continue this process that has been so successful for us.
As with any school year, our school has new employees. I hope you stop by and meet our new employees on back to school night. Please let our returning teachers and staff know how much you appreciate the great job they are doing for our students as well.
Another way we will work on helping our students succeed is with our assignment policy. Our vision is to see every student in Cascade Schools complete every assignment at a 70% or better. We will help our students who are unable to accomplish this by providing them with extra time and extra practice until they have learned the topic.
Once again, I’m excited for the new school year and working with you and your students. If there is anything you need help with, let us know. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
