Please remember that morning arrival time at school can be chaotic and sometimes stressful. Here are a few important reminders:

1. Remember the speed limit in the parking lot is 5 mph.

2. Visibility is often challenging in the morning, and more so during stormy weather. Please observe and follow all directions given by crossing guards. This includes not driving around unloading cars; observing STOP signs; and not parking on a crosswalk.

3. Do not use the bus lane for drop off. This space is only for buses. They need to drop off and head to the secondary campus.

Thank you for doing your part to keep our students, staff, and families safe.

Holiday Hoops Camp

The 3-5 gym would love to display your student staying active outside of school! Our bulletin board features staff members and their families staying active and now we invite your student to join! We would love to display as many kids being active as possible. Photos can picture just your student or other friends/family members as well! You can send your student to school with a printed photo or email photos to swilkins@cascade.k12.or.us to add to the wall. Let's fill the bulletin board!

The 4/5 music program will be held in the cafeteria on Thursday, December 7. Students must arrive and meet in their classroom 10 min. prior to their class performance.

The schedule for the evening will be as follows:

• Day/Bryson performance @ 6:00pm - students meet in classroom by 5:50

• Miller/Ruby performance @ 6:30pm - students meet in classroom by 6:20

• Farrens/LaMarche-Landsiedel performance @ 7:00pm - students meet in classroom by 6:50

Once your child's class performance is complete please go collect them from their classrooms, allowing the families for the next performance to get seated.

Thank you for your help in making this night run smoothly. Contact your child's teacher if you have additional questions.

It truly takes an “all hands on deck” mentality to run a school effectively. If you are interested in volunteering in your student’s class, chaperoning a field trip, or helping out behind the scenes, please begin the background check process found here or on the Cascade School District website on the “parents and students” page.

The background check process takes two-four weeks, is completely free, and lasts for two years. We recommend completing this early in the school year so as to avoid delay.

You no longer need to provide proof of COVID vaccination in order to volunteer.

Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn life around. If you would like to publically compliment someone at Aumsville Elementary or a community partner at an Aumsville Elementary event, you may do so here.

The compliment will show up in the next Panther Periodical!
