Attention Families With 8th Grade Students: On Tuesday, May 11th at 10:45am, there will be a mandatory live google meet for our 8th grade students to introduce career cruising. Career cruising is a college and career exploration tool for student use. The first lessons begin at the 8th grade level as students start working on their High School and Beyond Plan (a HS graduation requirement). Please have your student join the meet on Tuesday, May 11th at 10:45am. Parents should feel free to join the meet as well if they want to support their student in this process. See flyer for details.

COVID-19 impacted the school nurse's ability to screen your child’s vision and hearing at school as routinely done. The Cascade Health Room will be working to screen hybrid students for vision (seventh grade only) using the SPOT Photo Screener, focusing on those at greater risk of vision problems. Hearing screening will be completed on a referral basis and only if screening can be conducted safely. If your child is participating in online education or you have concerns regarding your child’s vision, we encourage you to make an appointment with a licensed vision care professional such as an ophthalmologist or optician. For hearing concerns, you should contact your child’s primary care provider. Included is an attachment for your reference for possible signs of vision problems or concerns for your child. Some signs of hearing loss in school-age children are as follows: · Does not follow simple commands, such as “get your shoes,” or understand simple directions · Is easily frustrated or experiences communication breakdowns · Is falling behind with speech and communication skills · Cannot understand what you are saying unless they are looking directly at you · Cannot identify where sounds are coming from · Is exhausted at the end of school from concentrating to understand speech · Shows signs of behavioral problems or social difficulties · Experience's problems keeping up at school or grades slipping Summer School Information:
