We had another great week here at school. Our students are staying optimistic regardless of the smoky air! I am thinking about our families that are being displaced because of the fires and I am so incredibly impressed with our community support during this challenge.

Our Rambler Athletes continue to impress! I can tell that they are working hard every practice to improve and represent their teams to the best of their abilities.

Our staff continues to amaze me with their dedication to students and the relationships that they have with one another. We have a collaborative team here at Cascade Schools and this is a great benefit for students and their learning. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns, or compliments. I am here to serve our students of the Cascade School District.

You may have noticed that we have locked the front doors of our school. This measure is taken to ensure the safety and security of our students and staff, it is simply a precautionary step and is part of our established procedures for managing changing situations.

As we mentioned at the end of last year, we intend to implement locked entrance doors as part of our longer-term strategy as recommended by our advisors at the State level.

We understand that sometimes these measures might raise questions or concerns. Our top priority remains the safety and well-being of our entire school community. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

And, if you stop by the school and would like to be let in the building, please just simply ring the doorbell and one of our secretaries will remotely unlock the door after checking the front door cameras.

Hello Rambler Families: This week we are sending home forms with students in Pk-8 grades regarding a Cavity Prevention Clinic that will be held onsite October 3rd and 4th. This clinic is optional, but for all forms that are returned students are able to claim a prize. We just ask that you mark No on the form, sign and send the form back with your student if you would like to opt out.

If you have a student in high school that would like to participate in this clinic, please have them come see me.

Thank you!

Mrs. Candice
