Communication between Students/Parents During the School Day                          

Class time is a priority at Cascade, so we strive to minimize interruptions during that time.  Please help us reduce the need to call the classrooms by limiting contact to students for emergencies only.  Parents/guardians who need to speak with their student during the day should call the main office at 360-604-3600. We cannot connect you directly to the classroom, but we will ask the student to come to the office to return your call.  Students should not be answering cell phone calls or texts during class time.

Behavior that  creates a disruption to the learning environment including fighting, is not allowed and will be addressed according to district policy.  All students will have access to multiple Tier 1 Strategies and Supports as well as re teaching expectations as preventative measures and before discipline is administered.  Restorative practices and conversations will also be utilized to repair relationships and community after harm occurs.
