 Message from Principal Duncan~

Happy New Year and welcome back! I hope you and your family enjoyed a restful winter break filled with meaningful time, joyful moments, and time well spent with loved ones. As we begin 2026, we are excited to welcome everyone back and start the second half of the school year together.

Our staff is energized and eager to continue our pursuit of high expectations for all students, while building strong relationships and supporting ongoing academic growth. These pillars remain at the heart of everything we do at Kaseberg, and we are committed to ensuring every student feels supported, challenged, and valued each day.

Over the next eight weeks of the second trimester, we will be focusing on goal setting with our students as they prepare for their second round of i-Ready diagnostics. This is an important opportunity for students to reflect on their progress, set meaningful goals, and celebrate their growth. In addition to our academic focus, we also have some exciting and fun events ahead, including our Winter Family Dance and Read Across America Week.

I truly look forward to all that we will accomplish together during the second half of the school year. I am so excited to see your amazing children on Tuesday, January 6th, as we return from break and begin this next chapter together.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Here’s to a wonderful start to 2026 at Kaseberg!

Important Information~

PBIS Character Trait of the Month EMPATHY~

💙 Character Trait of the Month: Empathy 💙

This month at Kaseberg, we are focusing on the character trait of Empathy. Classrooms will be teaching lessons that explore what empathy looks like and sounds like—both at school and at home.

🗣️ Community Circles
Each week, classes will hold community circles where students have the opportunity to share examples of how empathy has been shown to them and how they have shown empathy to others. These conversations help students build understanding, strengthen relationships, and create a caring school community.

Together, we are empowering our students to recognize feelings, show kindness, and support one another every day. 💫

🏡 At Home

• Model empathy: Talk through your own feelings and show understanding when others are upset or need support.

• Encourage perspective-taking: Ask questions like, “How do you think they felt?” or “What could we do to help?”

• Practice active listening: Give your child your full attention and validate their emotions, even when you don’t agree with their actions.

• Use everyday moments: Books, movies, and real-life situations are great opportunities to discuss emotions and kind responses.

• Praise empathetic actions: Acknowledge when your child shows kindness, compassion, or understanding toward others.

100th Day of School Spirit Day~

It’s one of our favorite dress-up days of the year! To celebrate the 100th Day of School, students and staff are invited to dress to impress by coming as a “100-year-old” or by wearing 100 items. We can’t wait to see our campus filled with oldies but goodies as we mark this fun milestone together!

Kaseberg Attendance Focus~

Attendance Matters!

As a school and district, we are committed to improving student attendance and reducing the number of students who are considered Chronically Absent each year. Regular attendance is essential for student learning, engagement, and success.

Each month, our classrooms work toward attendance goals, and we celebrate their efforts with incentives when goals are met. These incentives help encourage strong attendance habits and build a positive school culture.

Our overall goal is to have less than 5% of students identified as Chronically Absent each year. A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more of the school year, for any reason.

School‑Wide Attendance Goals:

• 📘 Each classroom maintains a 96% attendance rate each month

• 🎯 The school maintains a chronic absenteeism rate below 5%

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure students are at school every day and ready to learn!

Message from Principal Duncan~

I hope all of our Kaseberg families enjoyed a relaxing and memorable Thanksgiving Break. I spent much of my time soaking in the simple moments with my own family and reflecting on the immense gratitude I feel for the work we do together as a school community to support our students.

As we head into the next three weeks, we’re excited to create fun and joyful holiday moments for our students, while also staying focused on maximizing our instructional minutes and keeping high expectations for academic growth.

I’m so happy to be back on campus — I truly missed seeing your wonderful children and their smiling faces! Here’s to a great few weeks ahead at Kaseberg.

Attendance Focus for December~

Let’s Make Every Day Count at Kaseberg!

Did you know that showing up to school every day has a huge impact on how well students do? Even small amounts of missed time can add up quickly. For example, missing just 2 days a month adds up to more than 10% of the school year— and students who miss that much are more likely to fall behind in reading and math.

Kids who attend school regularly are more confident, stay caught up with their classmates, and are more likely to feel connected at school. Studies even show that students with strong attendance are more likely to meet grade-level goals and develop important lifelong habits.

As families, you play the biggest role in helping your child build these routines. Thank you for partnering with us to make attendance a priority — every day truly makes a difference!

This month, we’re aiming to have as many students as possible reach 100% attendance. We have 14 school days until our next break — let’s make each day count!

🎟️ Attendance Raffle – December 18th
All students who have not missed a day of school in December will be entered into a special raffle.

🏆 Prizes:
We’ll be choosing 3 lucky winners to receive a $25 Target gift card!

Let’s finish the month strong, Kaseberg! Who will our lucky winners be?! 🎉

 Important Information~

PBIS Focus for November and December~

This month at Kaseberg, our students are learning about the importance of Respect — what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like in our school community. Teachers will be guiding students through lessons and activities that help them understand how to show respect for themselves, others, and their environment.

Students can also earn Caught Cha! tickets throughout the month for demonstrating respectful behavior around campus — whether it’s using kind words, listening to others, or taking care of school property.

How can families help at home?
Here are a few ways you can support the lesson of Respect in everyday life:

• Model respect: Speak kindly to others, listen attentively, and show appreciation.

• Practice manners: Encourage saying “please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me.”

• Take responsibility: Have your child help with chores or caring for family pets.

• Listen and value opinions: Give your child chances to share their thoughts and show that you value what they say.

• Show respect for differences: Talk about how people may have different ideas, cultures, or traditions — and that’s what makes our community special.

Together, we can help our students grow into kind, thoughtful, and respectful individuals — both at school and at home!

Conference Week and Report Cards for Trimester 1~

We have officially wrapped up the first trimester of the school year! Our teachers are looking forward to connecting with families during Parent-Teacher Conferences, which will take place the week of November 17th–21st.

These conferences are required for all students, as they provide an important opportunity to discuss your child’s progress, celebrate strengths, and set goals for continued growth. During your scheduled meeting, you’ll also receive a copy of your child’s report card for the first trimester.

📅 Conference Week Schedule
All students will be released early each day during conference week. Please review the early release schedule below and make any necessary arrangements for pickup and after-school care.

PBIS Character Trait of the Month "Growth Mindset"~

This month, our schoolwide focus is on the character trait of Growth Mindset. Teachers will be helping students learn what this looks and sounds like in the classroom. At Kaseberg, we believe in Raising the Bar—showing students that with grit, determination, and perseverance, they are capable of amazing growth.

Here are some ways you can support your child in building a Growth Mindset at home:

Encourage effort over perfection: Celebrate hard work and persistence, not just the final result.

Use “yet” language: If your child says, “I can’t do this,” help them reframe it as, “I can’t do this yet.”

Model perseverance: Share examples of times when you had to keep trying to succeed.

Praise problem-solving: Highlight your child’s strategies and creative thinking.

Emphasize learning from mistakes: Remind your child that mistakes are opportunities to grow.

PBIS Monthly Focus~

This month our students will be focusing on the character trait of "Responsibility". Students will discuss and learn what it looks like to be responsible at school, at home, and in their community.  Students will receive Caught Cha tickets anytime an adult on campus sees them showing this trait happening in action.  Here are ways you can support your child at home with being responsible:

Helping Your Child Be Responsible

Responsibility is a skill kids build little by little. Here are some simple ways you can support your child at home and in the community:

• At home:

  • Give age-appropriate chores (make the bed, feed a pet, set the table).

  • Encourage finishing homework or tasks before playtime.

  • Help them take care of their own belongings.

• In the community:

  • Return library books on time.

  • Clean up after yourself at parks or public spaces.

  • Model responsibility by following through on commitments.

Small, consistent steps make a big difference in helping children grow into dependable and respectful community members!

 

Penny Race Fundraiser Coming Soon~

We are getting closer to starting our first big fundraiser of the school year and it is a school site favorite!  Start saving up those coins and dollar bills to ensure your child's class wins the race.  Our goal is to raise $4,000 to go towards school field trips, assemblies, and teacher resources for their classrooms.
