EVAL SUPPORT:HELPFUL
eVAL 3.0 is a new platform with updated functionality. We recognize that the interface is new and it may take some time to become fluent in the new structure.

No scheduling necessary - just jump in and ask your questions!

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.
SESPA EARLY RELEASE DATES: HELPFUL
Our district leadership is currently working to develop professional learning for SESPA members on 4 early release Wednesdays (see SESPA contract requirements below). More information will be available soon, but I wanted to share the planned dates now so you have them for planning.
The dates are:
October 28
December 9
February 24
April 28
Contract Language: Four times annually, building-based SESPA employees who work a schedule that results in them being on site during Early Release Wednesdays shall have the opportunity to attend professional development sessions developed by the District specifically to meet the needs of classified employees. Such professional development shall be offered after employee input regarding potential professional development opportunities has been sought by the district, and will be offered in such a manner as to facilitate job-alike professional development when appropriate.
SIDEWALK PROJECT STARTING (TENTATIVELY) FALL 2027: HELPFUL
The City of Shoreline is planning to build new sidewalks in your neighborhood. The new sidewalks will fill gaps in the existing sidewalk network near Cascade K-8 School and Brugger's Bog Park. This work will include adding curb ramps, drainage improvements, and connections to driveways.
The sidewalks will be located:
On the north side of NE 200th Street between 25th Avenue NE and the existing sidewalk at Cascade K-8 School
On the north side of NE 200th Street between the existing sidewalk at Cascade K-8 School and the City’s eastern limits near 30th Avenue NE
On the west side of 25th Avenue NE between NE 200th Street and Brugger’s Bog Park
We are currently designing the project and plan to begin construction in fall of 2027.
