What is Cascades Screening?

Cascades Screening helps districts identify early warning signs across the full spectrum of student wellbeing, from academic and attention challenges to peer conflict, emotional regulation, and school disengagement. It pairs these indicators with validated mental health screeners for depression, anxiety, trauma exposure, suicide and self-harm risk, and social functioning. Insights flow directly into your MTSS and Whole Child review process, highlighting the highest risk domains and guiding timely, coordinated interventions.

Early warning signs on wellbeing risks that indicate:

● Academic and Attention Issues
● Peer Relationship Problems
● Internalizing Behaviors
● Externalizing Behaviors
● Bullying Behaviors
● Emotional Dysregulation
● School Disengagement

Leverage screening results in Cascades MTSS process flows and Whole Child review

Start with a school or grade-level view of trends and risk signals, then move from summary metrics to the specific students impacted. Results are designed to support screening conversations with an MTSS team, not just reporting for reporting’s sake.
