News from our Hawk Staff:

Welcome back to our new and returning Kaseberg families!  We are very excited to kick off the start of our 2020/2021 school year.  Our teachers have been anxiously awaiting your return and we look forward to seeing your smiling faces virtually in one week.  Below you will find a message from our new Principal Melissa Duncan and information regarding important future dates.  Have a wonderful last week of summer break! 



Otus and Teacher Assignments:  

Families will receive their child’s teacher assignment on Tuesday, August 4th through our new Learning Management System called Otus.  RCSD will send families directions on Tuesday, August 4th with how to login to Otus and retrieve their information.  This Learning Management System will take the place of google classroom during the school year.  It is a one-stop shop for communication with teachers, lessons/assignments, grading, and curriculum.      


Chromebook Deployment:   

If your child has not already received a Chromebook from RCSD please attend the designated Kaseberg deployment dates below.  Chromebooks will be deployed out in front of the main office.  We ask that you bring your photo ID, your own pen, wear a mask, and practice social distancing while on campus.  We encourage families to not bring children during Chromebook deployment.  Parents and guardians are the only members of the family that can pick up a Chromebook for a student. Below are the designated pick dates: 

  

  • Kindergarten Deployment will be Thursday, August 6th from 2:00 pm -5:00 pm.  

  • 1st grade-5th grade Deployment will be Friday, August 7th from 2:00-5:00 pm 



Virtual Back to School 

We are excited for a virtual Back to School Night this year to support social distancing and keeping our staff and families safe.  Our teachers will be sharing a Welcome Back video with additional information pertaining to this year’s Distance Learning plan, classroom procedures, supply list, etc.  On Friday, August 7th at 4:00 pm families can log in to the new Otus learning management system to view their teacher's virtual Back to School Night presentation. We hope you enjoy!     



Instructional Materials Deployment:

All student instructional materials will be deployed during the first week of school.  This means that the week of August 10th our teacher's focus will be on building relationships with our students, setting classroom expectations, and getting to know our Kaseberg families virtually.  This will create a smooth transition into curriculum-based instruction starting August 17th. 

Instructional Materials will be deployed from the Multiple Purpose Room side door.  Please ensure you are wearing a mask and practicing social distancing procedures while on campus.  Please see the different pickup window opportunities below:  


  • Thursday, August 13th from 2:00 pm -5:00pm K-5th grade
