Our Family Reading Night will be held on Tuesday, March 1st from 6:00-7:00 pm in the Commons at Cascade School. To encourage reading at home, there will be a free book “exchange”, a bookmark craft, places to listen to read-alouds, and a comfortable area to just sit and read. The evening will be geared towards elementary students, but everyone is welcome to attend.In order to provide enough books for everyone, we are asking for book donations. If you have any unwanted books that are in good condition and suitable for young readers, please bring them to the school by Monday, February 21st. This will give us enough time to find the appropriate level for each book and have it ready to find a new home.If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Price at (406)468-9383 ext. 106. Thank you,Michelle PriceCascade Elementary Principal

On January 27, 2022 we had a moment of silence to honor one of the members of our community who recently passed away.  Charles Hawn had been a part of our high school wrestling community and was a dear friend of our high school wrestling head coach, Jason Lorang.  Prior to the start of our last home wrestling event, we decided to honor Charlie in a moment of silence.   There are many in our school community mourning his loss. We understand many of you would have participated in this event if it was publicized.  We apologize to the Hawn family for not making this public.  We did not plan this event with enough time to get the word out. The moment of silence was done out of humility and respect as well as to honor a wonderful individual.

Science Fair will now be held on February 22nd. Projects will be judged during school hours and the public is able to come view in the evening beginning at 6:00 PM.

The Reading Night previously scheduled for Tuesday, January 25th has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 1st. It will begin at 6:00 pm and be held in the Commons. If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Price at (406)468-9383 ext. 106 or at michelle.price@cascade.k12.mt.us.

MTSBA is conducting our Superintendent Search to fill the position for School Year 2022-2023.

Hello everyone, As of today, we have seen a major increase in COVID-19 infections.  We will do everything we can to keep the school open.  If we have enough staff to have supervisors for each classroom or class, we will be open. You can help us by keeping your students home if they are sick and getting them tested if they show symptoms. The Cascade County Health Department has issued new rules for isolation and quarantining. If you test positive, regardless of your vaccination status, you will need to: Isolate at home for at least 5 days. At home, anyone sick or infected should separate from others, stay in a specific "sick room" or area, and use a separate bathroom (if available). If you must be around others in your home, wear a mask. Monitor your symptoms. If you have an  emergency warning sign (including trouble breathing), seek emergency medical care immediately. If you have no symptoms or your symptoms are resolving after 5 days, you may leave your home. Continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days. If you come in contact with an individual who tested positive you should follow these guidelines: These guidelines and recommendations are applicable if you have CLOSE CONTACT WITH A POSITIVE CASE but have not tested positive yourself. Quarantine means separating yourself from others who have not been exposed to COVID-19 following a close contact with an infected person. This helps to prevent the spread of the disease.  Close contact means you either had direct physical contact with an infected individual or you were within 6 feet of the infected individual for 15 cumulative minutes or more in a 24-hour period. If you have been boosted OR you have completed the primary series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine within the last 6 months OR you have completed the primary series of J&J vaccine within the last 2 months: Wear a mask around others for 10 days. Test on day 5, if possible. If you develop symptoms, get a test and stay home. If you completed the primary series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine over 6 months ago and are not boosted OR you completed the primary series of J&J over 2 months ago and are not boosted OR you are unvaccinated: Quarantine at home for 5 days. After that, continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days. If you can't quarantine, you must wear a mask for 10 days. Test on day 5, if possible.
