Cascade Parent Partnership Program Website

Cascade Parent Partnership is an inclusive community of staff, students, and their families working together to engage, encourage and empower K-12 students on their individual learning journeys. Our school is comprised of three distinctive school components: a grade K-8 in-person partnership working with parent educators; a grade K-5 virtual option with live district teachers; and a grade 6-12 virtual option working asynchronously with an online learning provider. As an Alternative Learning Environment (ALE) school, we strive to create options for students that best meet their strengths, interests and needs. Students attend classes and explore interests at Cascade, at home, and in their communities.
