Parent Organizations
Get Involved
There are many opportunities for parents in the Cascade School District to get involved and make a difference in their schools by joining a parent organization(s) in the school(s). Besides becoming a volunteer, you can also be an active member of one of the following organizations:
The Parent Teacher Organization at Peshastin-Dryden Elementary has joined forces with the parent group at Alpine Lakes Elementary School - they are now the PD/ALP PTO! Their mission is to enrich the social and educational experiences of our students, while supporting teachers. The PTO is encouraging you to join - whether you can volunteer 2 hrs a school year, or 2 hrs a week, every bit helps us support our students and schools!
