New This Year: “First Tuesdays” Parent Partnership Nights
“First Tuesdays” Parent Partnership Nights are an opportunity for parents and guardians to learn how you can best support your student academically, as well as socially and emotionally, make common connections with our school community, gather tips to help your student thrive, and become informed about the EPS District guaranteed and viable curriculum.
This is a free event at Cascade Middle School from 5-7 pm.
For an overview of all “First Tuesdays” Parent Partnership Nights, check out this FLYER (written in Chuukese, English, Russian, and Spanish languages).

The next “First Tuesday” will be on Tuesday, Dec 5, 2023, from 5:00-7:00 pm at Cascade Middle School. Cascade will be hosting a Culture Fair focused on winter traditions and desserts from the many cultures that make up our Cascade Community. This night is for the whole family and will include desserts, crafts, and live performances. This event is free, and we hope to see you there!

Rene Corbin
This is my 11th year as a Counselor here at Cascade. Prior to Cascade, I was a Counselor at Pacific MS for 10 years. I was born in Syracuse, NY and began my career in Education as a Secondary Math Teacher. In 1992, I moved from the Catskill region of New York State to Portland. I worked for several years as an Intervention Program Facilitator for Portland Public Schools.
Music has always played an important part of my life. I played flute and alto sax in elementary and middle school. I sang in church and school choirs. In High School I started playing the guitar and studied classical guitar while in college. I am currently learning to play the bouzouki and the bodhran (Irish drum). When I listen to music, I prefer to listen to vinyl records on my turntable.
I spend my summers in Upstate NY along the 1000 Islands where I still have family and get to enjoy country life. Much of my time there is spent kayaking, bird watching, making barn quilts, and going to music events.
