Cache Connection

Dear Cache Families,

There’s a simple story I keep coming back to lately.

President Benjamin Harrison once said the ideal schoolhouse could be imagined as a teacher and a student sitting together on a log. No desks. No walls. No technology. Just two people, side by side, learning together.

At first, that sounds a little strange. After all, our schools today are full of classrooms, electronic devices, textbooks, and carefully designed spaces. But that’s kind of the point. Harrison wasn’t saying these things don’t matter—he was reminding us that learning starts with relationships.

Four generations of the Demler family (Clyde, Chad, Shane, & Jessie) have worked in or on the Providence ES building. "The Demler name is involved with pretty much every layer of this school," Jessie said. "I take a lot of pride in knowing that we built it together."

We are so grateful for the Demlers' legacy of partnership with our school district!

Mountain Crest High School’s band and orchestra programs recently performed their beloved "Christmas Fantasy" tradition. This interactive holiday production allows student musicians to connect with and serve audiences from nearby elementary and middle schools.

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence. Schools across our country are celebrating the #America250 anniversary by focusing on the history of the United States. Pictured here are three students from Mountainside ES posing as King George III and members of Parliament taxing American colonists. We are so proud of our students and teachers who are diving into high-quality history teaching and learning!

Let's create a culture where everyone is SEEN, HEARD, and VALUED. If you see a student, teacher, administrator, or staff member doing something amazing, we invite you to Spill the Sweet Tea! Tag us on Social Media using #SpilltheSweetTeaCCSD

Happy New Year!

As we reach the halfway point of the school year, I want to take a moment to recognize and thank each of you for your partnership, resilience, and dedication. The support you provide at home is profound, and your commitment to your child’s growth is clear.

This time of year often brings new challenges and opportunities. I encourage you to lean on your community, celebrate your child's small victories, and keep sight of the incredible progress they are making.
