The cheerleaders were never hairier and the stakes were never higher!The senior class took on the staff in a game of Pi Day basketball. It was a battle to end all battles but in the end the youth won over wisdom. The staff can only hope that some of these awesome seniors will join their ranks after graduation so next year they have a better chance of victory! #BadgerPride
Cascade Public Schools is working with Alluvion Health to establish a community-based health clinic for all residents of our school district. We need your help. Please complete the survey to allow the District and Alluvion Health to determine the needs of our community. Please share this story and the link to the survey with as many community members as possible. Please take this 5-minute survey to help us address the health needs of students and their families in our Cascade community. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2JRNX8DThis survey will help us plan for potential School-Based Health center services with Alluvion Health. Your answers are kept confidential and your answers are anonymous. You do not need to put your name anywhere on the survey. The survey will take less than 5 minutes to complete. Thank you for your input. We are excited to explore this opportunity with Alluvion Health!Questions and Answers on School-Based Centers from Alluvion Health: Who can use the School-Based Center? Everyone! The medical clinic will be open to all staff employed and students enrolled in Cascade Public School, as well as their families. Community members in Cascade may also be able to access the School-Based Center once it is fully implemented. Visit the Alluvion website to learn more about School-Based health services: https://www.alluvionhealth.org/services/#SBHWill there be a charge for the School-Based Center's services? The School-Based Clinic will accept Medicare, Medicaid, Healthy Montana Kids, and most insurance plans. If you have insurance, Alluvion will bill directly to your insurance company. You will be responsible for co-pays and any unmet deductible amounts. For both those with or without insurance, we offer a sliding fee scale that is based on income and family size. No child will be denied services due to the inability to pay.Visit the Alluvion website to learn more about our sliding fee scale: https://www.alluvionhealth.org/billing/#slidingIn order for students to receive services at the School-Based Health Center, a complete and signed consent form will need to be returned to the School-Based Health Center. The consent must be on file prior to the child being seen. Once the Center is set up, further information will be communicated, and consent forms sent out.
Dear Parents and Guardians, On March 16th, during the regular board meeting, the School Board elected to follow the Cascade County Health Department's mandate on masks. This wasn't an easy decision for the School Board and the topic was debated with both the pros and cons considered by each board member. In the end, it was decided to follow the recommendations of our county health department. On March 17th, at the regular Cascade County Health Department's board meeting, the county mask mandate was lifted. The CCHD had planned on lifting the mandate if or when the number of COVID cases fell below 10 per 100,000. The current COVID rate of infections is 9.6 per 100,000. On Monday, March 22nd, masks will no longer be required at Cascade Public Schools. We will still enforce our other COVID precautions and ask that you keep your children home and attend school online if they are sick. The CCHD noted: "While event size limits and the mask mandate are no longer in effect, it is critically important that our community members remember what got us to this point: social distancing, wearing face coverings, limiting capacity, and other common-sense practices like frequent hand-washing and staying home when sick. These best practices have resulted in our daily case rate dropping to the current level, and CCHD still recommends that these practices be implemented." Cascade Public Schools also recommends that our students and staff wear masks as well. As parents and guardians, the choice is yours on whether your children should wear masks. Please discuss your expectations with your children and make those expectations clear to them. If you would like your child to wear a mask at school, please send an email to your child principal and classroom teacher and we will try to help with your expectations. Also, if you would like to change your child's educational status, please make arrangements with the principal or office to sign the necessary forms to move them to online learning. We will keep you informed if anything changes. --Respectfully, Rick

Our MIOSM Concert will have the same COVID-19 limitations that all other events have. Face masks are required, social distancing, stay away if you are sick, and a limit of 250 people (including performers).We ask that you sign up ahead of time with the Google form (form is now closed). You will be able to sign in at the door.If we have 2 people attend for each student who is performing, then we still have room for extra people. So, we think that all family members who wish to attend will be able to be there. It is not a guarantee, however.The concert will be live-streamed and can be found HEREThe concert is Monday, March 1st, at 7 pm.
