Thank you to the 20 families who were able to make it to the K-2 family night! What a turn out! We know there are a lot of illnesses going around right now so some folks couldn't make it. Teachers will be reviewing the at home reading challenge, with families who couldn't make it, during their student conferences. It was great to see families and children reading together and then enjoying some great pizza and cookies together.

Cascade Locks is an AVID elementary school. AVID stands for, Advancement Via Individual Determination.By teaching and reinforcing academic behaviors and higher-level thinking at a young age, AVID Elementary teachers create a ripple effect in later grades. Students develop the academic habits they will need to be successful in middle school, high school, and college, in an age-appropriate and challenging way. Students learn about organization, study skills, communication, and self-advocacy. AVID Elementary students take structured notes and answer and ask high-level questions that go beyond routine answers.

Mission: Our mission is to empower and engage students by providing them with opportunities, instilling confidence and critical thinking skills, as well as the ability to collaborate effectively.

Vision:All students are lifelong learners who have the confidence to take risks, discover their passion, and achieve their goals and dreams.

We are now using Peachjar! Parents/guardians receive digital flyers containing school and community resources that aim to improve the trajectory of students’ lives. This transition will also save our schools time and money while ensuring important information makes it home to parents.
