Dear Families,Cascade Public Schools is working hard to ensure your child's education. If your child completes the work assigned at a 70% or better, they will receive credit for this school year. Teachers have determined what standards students need to meet and show proficiency by the end of the school year. Therefore, all assignments must be completed and turned in to the school. If students are missing work or have not completed their work at a satisfactory level they will need to come in during the summer to bring their grades up to a satisfactory level. Please communicate with the teachers and administration to get the assistance needed to complete assignments. Students can pick up and drop off their work at the school's main doors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until school is back in session. Thank you for your cooperation.
All of us a Cascade Schools are concerned about your children and their families. Here is an article on how to help your child cope in these trying times. Remember, we are here for you and if your child or family needs additional help, let us know.How a child reacts and the common signs of distress can vary according to the child’s age, previous experiences, and how the child typically copes with stress.Children react, in part, on what they see from the adults around them. When parents and caregivers deal with a disaster calmly and confidently, they can provide the best support for their children. Parents can be more reassuring to others around them, especially children if they are better prepared.Helping Children Cope with Emergencies
