It truly takes an “all hands on deck” mentality to run a school effectively. If you are interested in volunteering in your student’s class, chaperoning a field trip, or helping out behind the scenes, please begin the background check process found here or on the Cascade School District website on the “parents and students” page.

The background check process takes two-four weeks, is completely free, and lasts for two years. We recommend completing this early in the school year so as to avoid delay.

You no longer need to provide proof of COVID vaccination in order to volunteer.

Our annual Move-A-Thon has been moved to the Fall, and students will get moving on Friday, September 29th! In fact, don't blink, it'll be here before we know it. It is time to get our students excited and ready to MOVE and earn some money for fun activities. The attached flier has more details about the changes this year.

Last year PTC supported our school in so many outstanding ways:

• AMAZING plethora of prizes for Move-a-thon at ALL earning levels
• Country Kids Relay shirts
• Field trip $ for each student
• Staff Panther Stores
• Student Panther Stores
• Teacher dinner at conferences
• Teacher dinner for Math Night
• PE equipment
• Recess equipment
• 5th grade Promotion refreshments & balloons
• Space themed cookies for OMSI Night
• THOUSANDS of dollars for the Book Vending Machine to support the "We LOVE To Read" program
• 1st week of school staff treats
• Bike Day snacks & water
• Every appreciation day under the sun, including our local police & fire
• Fun & festive signs out front (Welcome Back, Happy Teacher Appreciation Week, etc)
• and . . . . much more!

Below is the schedule to view your students' running time. Any parent is welcome to come watch and cheer, but you will need a background check to help/volunteer for the event.

This year Mrs. Day has welcomed three new members to the 4th grade team. Mrs. Miller moved up from 3rd grade, Mrs. Bryson came to us from Salem-Keizer and Mrs. Ruby has started her first year of teaching with us.

The teachers on the 4th grade team have a combined 39 years of teaching experience. They have a combined 4 Bachelor of Arts degrees, 4 Masters in Education, 1 Reading Endorsement and 2 ESOL endorsements from Chemeketa Community College, Western Oregon University, Western Governors University, Concordia University, Willamette University and Portland State University.

Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn life around. If you would like to publically compliment someone at Aumsville Elementary or a community partner at an Aumsville Elementary event, you may do so here.

The compliment will show up in the next Panther Periodical!
