Welcome to spring, and some (kind of) brighter evenings. Thank you for all the work you have done on your identity work presented by our equity team. A big thank you to Fergus for his excellent instruction and leadership. We will finish our projects during our Thursday morning meeting on March 26th.

UPCOMING ASSESSMENT:HELPFUL
*** Dates have also been entered on the CK-8 calendar***
NEED SPECIAL CUSTODIAL ASSISTANCE?: HELPFUL
There are some evenings that we get extra custodial services (8 hours rather than 4 hours). If you have a special request for your room, please email Jim so that he can communicate with the evening custodian regarding your request. We typically have Hari in the evenings, but it is not always the same person, so it is best if those requests go to Jim for communication with the evening custodian.
LINGOLET INFORMATION: HELPFUL
Shoreline’s on-demand phone interpretation services are now provided through Lingolet and can be used by any Shoreline staff member communicating with multilingual families. This page includes the Lingolet phone number and Shoreline’s pin #.
Further information can also be found on the Language Access Resources Page through the staff portal or feel free to contact Casey Baldner, Language Access Coordinator, with questions.
Please note - As of December 31, Language Line services have been discontinued, please use Lingolet for your phone interpretation needs.
PRODEV INFORMATION: HELPFUL
To ensure questions aren’t lost or buried in individual staff inboxes, please use the dedicated Google Form for all ProDev-related inquiries. If there are issues with accounts, this form is the most efficient way for us to resolve them. Any emails sent directly to Instruction staff will be redirected to the form so we can accurately track issues and resolutions.
For any “how-to” questions, staff can also contact support@schooldata.net
**This google form has been linked in our systems and procedures document linked at the top of the blog**
COMMUNITY MEETING SIGN UP: ACTION
Please consider signing up to present a mini lesson at a community meeting. Families have given very positive feedback each time our staff is willing to share the amazing work we are doing with students. The presentation does not need to be long (10-15 minutes), and will be at the start of the agenda in case you need to leave afterwards.
PTSA GRANTS:HELPFUL
Grants are back!! Here is the information you will need:
Here is a grant link. Cascade K-8 PTSA Grant Application - Google Forms
This year we have $5K in grants available for use in the 24/25 school year budget. Any staff that has interest in applying can fill out the application form. It will be reviewed by the Finance Committee and recommendations will be presented to and voted on during RepBod meetings. All funds must be used before the end of the school year.
The purpose of this program is: To nurture creativity and enthusiasm by awarding grants to members of the Cascade K-8 community to benefit the students in unique ways that improve or enrich their learning experience, when funds are not otherwise available.
