Parent Cafe Event
What is a Parent Cafe?
Come join us at our Parent Cafe, a structured small group conversation where every voice is valued and everyone has the opportunity to both learn and lead. In a physically and emotionally safe space, you'll have the chance to connect with other parents and discuss the challenges and victories of raising a family, navigating inequality, enhancing well-being, or supporting loved ones. You'll reflect on your own strengths, learn about the Strengthening Families Protective Factors, and create strategies to strengthen your family. Leave feeling inspired, energized, and ready to put your new insights into practice. We hope to see you at our cafe on March 30th at 5:30. Please sign up using this link! Select Hood River County
AVID
Cascade Locks is an AVID elementary school. AVID stands for, Advancement Via Individual Determination.By teaching and reinforcing academic behaviors and higher-level thinking at a young age, AVID Elementary teachers create a ripple effect in later grades. Students develop the academic habits they will need to be successful in middle school, high school, and college, in an age-appropriate and challenging way. Students learn about organization, study skills, communication, and self-advocacy. AVID Elementary students take structured notes and answer and ask high-level questions that go beyond routine answers.
Mission: Our mission is to empower and engage students by providing them with opportunities, instilling confidence and critical thinking skills, as well as the ability to collaborate effectively.
Vision:All students are lifelong learners who have the confidence to take risks, discover their passion, and achieve their goals and dreams.
