CSD leadership work & planning continues at an administrator's retreat today at Mountain Springs Lodge. Thanks again to the Lion’s Foundation for supporting this work!


Today was day 1 of the NCESD Leadership Summit. Thanks to a generous grant from the MD 19 Lion’s Foundation, Cascade administration was able to attend. It was a great day of learning and collaboration. We're planning for and looking forward to a great 2024-2025 school year!

Parents can now opt to purchase insurance for school devices in order to avoid high fees in case of damage. This could be especially helpful starting in grade 3 when students are issued laptops. For more information, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mFFMl1cX1k.
