Our Learning Improvement Team

Cascade View Elementary School's Learning Improvement Team provides the leadership in the areas of curriculum and instruction primarily in reading, writing, math, assessment and alignment of curriculumacross the building.  The CVES LIT also focuses their efforts on building management issues; i.e. scheduling, budgeting, and building policies and procedures.  The Learning Improvement Team(s) were comprised of administraor, parents, classified staff and grade level and departmental representation.

The schedule at CVES also allows for a two-hour early release every Friday for district, school, and staff teamwork to focus on student improvement goals, curriculum alignment, development of performance assessments, and professional improvement activities ensure the success of students in meeting the Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements.  Cascade View elemenatray School has developed School Improvement Goals in Math, Writing and Parent Perception.  In the areas of math and writing, goals were determined based upon district-wide levels of performance as CVES did not have any student achievement data in its first year of operation.  The perceptual goal was determined to gain parent feedback on the operations of CVES in its first year.

How can parents/community help?

Parent support is very strong at Cascade View Elementary School.  With 450+ PTSA members, 1200+ hours per month in volunteer hours and opportunities to enengage in school processes, parents play a vital role in CVES's success.  Parents are able to participate in the build's Learning Improvement Team, Emergency Prepareness Committee and the many fundraising activities associated with our school.  Each classroom provides parents a survey on their interest in how they serve as a volunteer in our school.  We also have parents with the support of PTSA help employ a building art docent program.
