Wellness Policy for Cascade
As a caring community, it is important that Cascade families are considerate of the health and wellness of the other families and students by keeping ill persons at home.
Parents, please keep yourself, your student, or siblings at home if you or they have had any of the following symptoms or signs of illness in the last 48 hours:Fever (anything over 99 degrees)
Rashes – including raised bumps on any part of the body excluding eczema
Sore throat
Vomiting – two or more episodes in the past 24 hours
Diarrhea – until illness is completely gone
Pink Eye – defined as pink or red conjunctiva with white or discharge, until after treatment
Uncontrolled coughing
Running nose w/green discharge
Difficulty breathing
Sluggishness that is more than tiredness
Yellow eyes
If students are brought to class with any of these symptoms, parents will be notified to pick up their child and take them home in order to keep the sickness from spreading to other students, families, and teaching staff.
General review of proper hygiene is required. Please remind students to always wash hands after using the restroom and before eating. Also, students are encouraged to use instant hand sanitizer to minimize the passing of germs through use of common supplies. Teachers and parents are encouraged to regularly clean all common spaces and classrooms, using school provided disinfectants. Collectively, we can ensure that our school is safe and healthy!
Thank you for helping to keep our community well.

Cascade families take this policy seriously. Kids who are sick shouldn't to come to school. Cascade teachers are supportive and work with kids who need to miss class so that they don't miss out on learning.
There is much less temptation than in neighborhood schools for families to send kids to school sick since school doesn't double as childcare. And our community understands that we have a number of immune compromised students who rely on us to keep germs away from them.
And of course kids in the online programs only have the exposure that you choose!
