Friday, Sept 25th

Message from Principal Duncan 

This is by far my most favorite time of the year!  We are in our groove for school, the weather is getting cooler and those fall candles are lit.  It has been a pleasure this week meeting parents during our first School Site Council Meeting and seeing our students dressed up in all of their spirit gear.  

This week has reaffirmed my belief that it is so important to let those around you know how much you care, validate the work others are doing, and to lead our community with compassion.  I SEE all that our families are doing to support this community, and like a student told me this week "I BELIEVE IN YOU!"  Have a wonderful weekend!    

Important Information:

LAST Materials Deployment:

Next Thursday and Friday is our very last materials deployment until we return to in-person instruction.  Your child's teacher is gathering and preparing for the materials that your child will need for the month of October.  Materials will be deployed from the back of the MPR, the same as last time.  The dates and times are below. 

• Thursday, October 1st:  9:00 am-4:00 pm
• Friday, October 2nd: 9:00 am-12:00 pm

Progress Reports:

Your child's teacher will be sending virtually through OTUS or email their Progress Report.  As a reminder, not every student will be receiving a progress report at this time.  Only students who might receive a Limited on their first-trimester report cards will receive a Progress Report.  If you have any questions regarding the Progress Report, please reach out to your child's teacher. 

Parent Compact and Annual Notice:

If you have not already signed and returned your Annual Parent Notification paperwork, please do so ASAP.  These are required to be turned in to the front office and as of right now we only have about a 50% return rate.  I have linked below the documents, just in case you misplaced yours, or you can stop by the office and they can give you a copy to sign. 

• Annual Family Notice. (We just need the last page) 
• Spanish Version  

Positive Thinking Strategies from our Counselor

Our counselor Mrs.Hall is continuously adding great new resources to our Counselor Blog at Kaseberg.  This week she is focusing on Positive Thinking Strategies during Distance Learning and has added some new video to her site that we encourage our families to check out.  The link to her Blog is at the top of our Community Blog.
