Did you know Turner Elementary School is more than 100 years old?

We've worked hard to expand and take care of the buildings over the years, but there are unique things to address with a historic building.

Our recent facility assessment took a close look at the condition and needs for Turner Elementary, and this video shares the highlights.

The salmon project is going strong for the 4th graders at Aumsville Elementary! They've hatched and their egg sacks are almost gone.

They are looking to release them into the wild around the first week of December!

Students at our schools ate a Thanksgiving meal on Tuesday! Turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, the whole works! You can see more pictures on our Facebook page.

Quite the crowd of students enjoyed something special. Thanks to our Nutrition Services staff for going the extra mile!

Mrs. McFerron's first grade class at Turner Elementary has been learning about what makes up a community. They started by finding themselves on a map, and then seeing the city of Turner and the State of Oregon.

Then, visitors from the community came to tell the class about what they did and what part they play in our community.

Now, students have created an entire community in the back of the classroom! Partners created their own models to make up a community: there's a school, police and fire departments, a farm, a gym, and so much more! You can see more pictures on our Facebook page.

Amazing #everydaylearning for these students

Seniors from the Cascade Opportunity Center got to experience a glimpse of university life at Oregon State University this week! They went on a campus tour and had lunch in the cafeteria.

We want all our students to find their dream!

The annual Thanksgiving food drive at Cascade High School was a success! Ms. Bullock's AVID Class took the lead on this project, and today they delivered food boxes to be distributed to families in need.

We love how Cascade students and staff showed their generosity!

If you are in a place where a food basket would really help your family, please contact Cheryl at the Cascade Family Resource Center - charmon@cascade.k12.or.us

The amazing drama students at Cascade High School will present "The Wizard of Oz" the first two weekends of December! Come and enjoy a great performance!

Cascade student tickets are $6, and general admission seats are $8.

We are going into the thick of Cold and Flu Season and have already had several cases of common contagious diseases reported.

​

Currently, Hand Foot and Mouth (HFM) disease is going around all of our schools, it is common in children under 5 years old, but anyone can get it. The disease is usually not serious but it is very contagious. There has been an increase in older children and adults getting it throughout the state. Most people get better on their own in 7 to 10 days. Here is what to look out for:

​

I want to remind all student’s, staff, and families to please use standard precautions:

​

- Wash your hands and have kids wash their hands often - wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after toileting, coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.

- Frequently clean and disinfect high contact surfaces in your home and work areas

- Avoid touching the face with unwashed hands, especially the eyes, nose, and mouth and avoid close contact with infected people.

​

The chart is a reference of guidelines for students and staff to be sent home, stay home and return to school.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. Stay Healthy Everyone!

Respectfully,
