Good Evening Cascades Families!

As always weather is unpredictable and we go from 60 and sunny to 30 and rainy. Please be sure that your student is properly dressed for the day when they come to school.

We have noticed an increase in instances where students are leaving their classrooms or designated areas without permission. We want to take a moment to reach out to you all- please reinforce with your student the importance of staying in class throughout the school day.

When students “elope” or leave class without permission, it can create safety concerns and interrupt valuable instructional time. Our staff is always available to help if a student is feeling upset, overwhelmed, or needs help. We encourage all students to use their words and ask a teacher or another trusted adult for help rather than leaving the classroom.

Please support this message at home by reminding your student that:

• Their teachers and staff are here to help them at any time.
  
  

• It’s important to stay where adults can see them to stay safe.
  
  

• Every minute in class helps them learn and grow.
  
  

Students that continue to “elope” or walk out of class will be assigned an afterschool detention for each elopement.

We appreciate your continued partnership in helping every student feel supported, safe, and ready to learn. If you have questions or concerns about your child’s experience at school, please reach out to your child’s teacher or Ms. Davis.

Cascades PTO Meeting 4-5pm in the Media Center

This week we begin our PBIS Ticket system- students that are exemplary in following our expectations will be able to be given tickets by any adult in the building. Those tickets are entered into a drawing at the end of every week and students who's names are drawn will choose a prize and get a Certificate of Awesomeness.

Please review these behavior expectations regularly and talk with your student about what each one means before they come to school.

Please pay close attention to the map below as our morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up routes are below. Please follow directions of the adults in our parking lot.

• In the morning students will not be allowed in the building before 8:10am. Please do NOT let your student out of the car until you are in the unloading/loading zone on the map and not before 8:10am
• To ensure all students arrive and leave safely we do not want students walking across the parking lot during drop-off and pick-up
• Numbers: Each student will be assigned a number and families will be asked to display their car-tag when in the pick-up line.
