The Cascade School District works in collaboration with the Willamette Education Service District (WESD) to identify families/students who may qualify for the Migrant Education Program. The Special Services Director works with our schools and acts as a liaison with the WESD Migrant recruit to identify these students in order to provide services and support.
The WESD identifies and provides services to Migrant families with children ages 3-21 by working with families and school districts across Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties. To contact them directly, please call Willamette Migrant Services at 503-588-5361.
