 Many students are arriving on campus too early in the morning or being picked up too late after-school.  We cannot allow children who arrive early to wait in the facility so students are forced to wait outdoors in the cold and damp weather until the cafeteria opens at 8:30am.  Not only is it uncomfortable for them due to the weather, there are serious safety concerns. The school day begins at 9:00am and ends promptly at 3:10pm.  Unless your child is a member of an APPROVED before &/or after-school program that provides scheduled staff supervision, students MAY NOT ARRIVE on school grounds before 8:30am or be left here after 3:10pm

 

Please remember to drop-off and pick-up your student(s) from Cascade View in the same designated location every day. At Cascade View, our priority is always the safety of our students, children may NOT be picked-up or dropped off anywhere on the street in front of school grounds (32nd Ave S and where it intersects with 136th-137th).  

Unless you have been issued and display a valid Washington State Disabled/Handicap Parking Permit, designated disabled parking spots at Cascade View MAY NEVER BE USED TO PICK-UP/DROP-OFF YOUR STUDENTSDoing so is against the law and violators will have their vehicle and license plate information reported to the Tukwila Police Department to assist them in pursuing the enforcement process.
