First Tuesdays
“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.
April 9th, 2024, will be our next “First Tuesday” Parent Night. We will be watching the movie “Screenagers” to:
Develop awareness about the frequency of substance imagery exposure in the media they consume
Identify and correct popular myths about substances including cannabis, alcohol and nicotine
Become aware of how alcohol, cannabis dispensaries and nicotine brands use social media to market their products to young audiences
Understand a safety-first approach when it comes to drugs and alcohol
Learn strategies to help keep themselves and their friends safe around drugs and alcohol
Please fill out the REGISTRATION FORM to let us know if you are able to attend. We hope you can come!
