Or you can go to Nutrition Services and use the fillable forms, sign and print them and then turn them into your school office(s) after Aug 22nd.

    The calendars/sourcebooks that we create each year are ready and in the district office to pick up (open Monday-Friday, 7:30 am - 4:30 pm).  This calendar has late starts (moved to a 2 hr late start this year), beginning of year openhouse information for each school and other important information.  Each of the schools will be open starting August 22 (and calendars will be there as well) with staff available to help answer your questions and get your school year started off easily. 

    Back to school sports kickoff for high school and middle school is Aug 14th, 5-7 pm, at the high school.  Student, parent and coach meetings for each of the fall sports will begin promptly at 5 pm with registration and opportunity to pay.  The Kodiak Booster Club will be there to get you outfitted with the latest Kodiak gear and provide dessert too!!  Come join us!

    CASCADE KODIAK TENNIS COURTS ARE OPEN!

    Tennis Courts
    The grand opening of the new Kodiak Courts was celebrated with a small gathering of Cascade tennis players and staff early the morning of August 7, 2017.
     
    After a speech given by Superintendent, Bill Motsenbocker, we were honored to have Cascade Tennis players conduct a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the opening of the six new courts. Afterwards, the students and staff enjoyed being the first to play a round of tennis on the new structure.  These courts are strictly for tennis and pickleball (all six are lined for pickleball) and are open from 7 am until dusk.  Lights were not in the budget this time around, but we were able to run conduit and electrical for lights in the future.  

    There will be a Cascade Youth Summer Tennis Program on these courts the week of August 14-17 from 9 am to 12:30 pm for youths in grades 3-8.  If you're interested, you can pick up registration forms at the district office the rest of this week from 8 am to 4:30 pm.  We are excited to see the play action already on these modern courts.  Thank you to everyone in making these courts possible.

    Chelan County Alerts

    Sign up to receive emergency alerts and severe weather warnings that could directly impact you and your family.

    Chelan County is able to send you emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice mail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important that we collect this contact information because many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines. 

    The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water orders, etc. Non-emergency alerts could include significant transportation problems with prolonged impacts or significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information. In addition to receiving information on your wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event. 

    Please provide your address and preferred method(s) of contact. Adding your address will allow tailoring so you do not receive alerts that do not pertain to your geographical area. 

    These alerts are provided free of charge, however standard text messaging rates and other charges may apply.
