I am a mom of 3. I have my oldest son, Nathan, who is almost 21 and will be graduating from PSU this Spring. My middle son, Spencer, will be graduating from Union high school this Spring, and my youngest daughter Amelia is 7 at Emerald Elementary. I’ve been married for almost 28 years to my college sweetheart who I met at the University of Washington.
I play the flute, love to travel, and enjoy being outside more than inside. I take walks and hikes every chance I get, and love to throw in a long bike ride on beautiful days!
Kayla Shaw
I was born and raised in Vancouver, WA and attended K-12 here at EPS (former Cascade student—Go Cougs!). I adored my teachers, counselors & coaches throughout my K-12 journey and valued their guidance. Because of them, I was inspired to eventually pursue a career in education. After graduating from college at WSU Vancouver, and working 10 years in other industries, I found myself yearning for a job in education. In 2017, I had an opportunity to join EPS supporting the Career Center at Evergreen High School. In the fall of 2018, I began serving students as a Middle School Career Guidance Specialist at Cascade, Shahala and Wy’east where I’m proud to still serve today. Helping students through the process of self-discovery and future exploration brings me so much joy!
Outside of the school day I enjoy spending time with family, attending our children’s sporting events and various activities, filling up on chips and salsa at our go-to restaurant, traveling (camping on the coast and visiting Disneyland are favorites), being creative with hand embroidery, cozying up to a new Netflix series in the colder months, and getting outdoors in the warmer months.
I’d love to help you explore your future goals and plans further! You can find me in Room 40 on Wednesdays & Fridays or reach out anytime via email!

First Tuesdays Parent Partnership
“First Tuesdays” Parent Partnerships Nights happens the first Tuesday of each month at Cascade! This is a night for parents and guardians to come find out 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 night is free, at Cascade Middle School, and from 5-7 pm. Childcare from Kindergarten-5th grade is provided as well as snacks.
March 5, 2024—Next First Tuesday Night will be a Cascade Comprehensive Needs Assessment Workshop:
We would like to ask for your help by participating in a Comprehensive Needs Assessment Workshops for our school on March 5th at 5:00PM. It will be held at Cascade Middle School, in the Library.
Why are we conducting a Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA)?
A CNA is a process of examining data to help us identify, understand, and determine priorities that will inform implementation of improvement efforts to address the gap between the current state of our school and where we envision it to be. Conducting an effective needs assessment is the first step in the improvement process. It is designed to help us set goals that support us as we identify action steps that will lead to higher levels of success for our students.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this workshop. Please reply to this message or fill out the REGISTRATION FORM to let us know if you are able to attend.
We hope you can join us as we plan for the 24-25 school year.
Sincerely,
Allison Harding
Principal, Cascade Middle School
Spanish:
Deseamos invitarlo a participar en dos talleres de Evaluación Integral de Necesidades para nuestra escuela el 5 de marzo a las 5 p.m. Se llevarán a cabo en la biblioteca de la Secundaria Cascade.
¿Por qué estamos realizando una Evaluación Integral de Necesidades (CNA, por sus siglas en inglés)?
CNA es un proceso de examinación de datos para ayudarnos a identificar, comprender y determinar las prioridades que indicarán la implementación de los esfuerzos de mejora para abordar la brecha entre el estado actual de nuestra escuela y cómo la visualizamos en el futuro. Conducir una evaluación práctica de las necesidades es el primer paso en el proceso de mejora. Está diseñado para ayudarnos a establecer metas que nos apoyen a medida que identificamos pasos que conducirán a mayores niveles de éxito para nuestros estudiantes.
No dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo si tiene alguna pregunta sobre este taller. Por favor, responda a este mensaje o llene el formulario para notificarnos si podrá asistir.
Esperamos que pueda participar mientras planificamos el año escolar 24-25.
Atentamente,
Allison Harding

Мы хотим попросить вас о помощи, приняв участие в семинаре по комплексной оценке потребностей для нашей школы 5 марта в 17:00. Семинар будет проходить в библиотеке школы средних классов Каскейд.
Почему мы проводим Комплексную оценку потребностей?
Оценка потребностей — это процесс изучения данных, который помогает нам выявить, понять и определить приоритеты, на основе которых будут реализованы усилия по улучшению школы, чтобы устранить разрыв между текущим состоянием нашей школы и тем, какой мы ее себе представляем. Проведение эффективной оценки потребностей является первым шагом в процессе усовершенствования. Она призвана помочь нам установить цели для определения действий, которые приведут к повышению уровня успеха наших учеников.
Обращайтесь ко мне, если у вас возникли вопросы по поводу этого семинара. Пожалуйста, ответьте на это письмо или заполните ФОРМУ РЕГИСТРАЦИИ, чтобы сообщить нам, сможете ли вы принять участие в семинаре.
Мы надеемся, что вы сможете присоединиться к нам в процессе планирования 24-25 учебного года.
Искренне,
Эллисон Хардинг
Директор школы средних классов Каскейд
