Message from Principal Duncan

Happy Friday...we have finally made it!  We are so excited to see so many of our Kaseberg families next Wednesday, November 4th for the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.💛  We will miss seeing all of our families continuing with Champions Academy, but we know you are in great hands.  Please watch this video with more details for our reopening plan and what to expect during the first weeks of school.  Have a Happy Halloween weekend and stay safe!  



Important Information

1st Trimester Report Cards 

First-trimester report cards will be getting emailed to you this afternoon.  If you have any questions please reach out to Mrs.Duncan or your child's Distance Learning teacher. 

Character Trait Award Recipients-EMPATHY

We are proud to share the winners of our October Character Traits Award for Empathy.  Congratulations to our recipients and Thank You for showing our PBIS behaviors of "Showing Respect, Making Good Decisions and Solving Problems" all while showing EMPATHY as well.   You ROCK!


Safety Video for our Kaseberg Students

We have been spending a lot of time prepping our staff and campus for our student's return and ensuring it is as safe as possible for all of our students.  We would like to encourage all of our families to watch these Safety Videos before returning to school to ensure we all have an understanding and an idea of what school will look like when kids return.  It is very important that we are all practicing these safety precautions to ensure we stay open for our Kaseberg Community.  

Grade Level Supply List Request/Donation

During our return to in-person instruction, students will be asked to have their own supplies since they will not be able to share supplies in the classroom setting.  This will decrease the risk of spreading germs.  Attached is our grade level supply list request.  If you are able to purchase these items for your child it would be greatly appreciated since students will not be able to share items in the classroom.  Thank you!

Chromebook Return Requirements


All students will be required to bring their Chromebook and charger for the first day of school.  Teachers will be collecting the Chromebooks and chargers and these items will be staying at school for use.  In grades 3rd-5th, student Chromebooks will remain checked out to each student and will only be used by that student in the class.  In grades K-2nd,  once we receive the Chromebook we will remove the Chromebook from the student's account.  Chromebooks will then be shared amongst students in the class.  Please read this letter for specifics on replacement costs during collection.  Chromebook Collection Letter    

Music Corner 

Don’t forget to find your music lessons in the Lessons tab on Otus every Monday! There will be fun songs and new activities to complete every week, starting November 9th. We are counting on you to keep making music as we transition to 5-Day and Champions learning! Here is the video music lesson preview:

Happy Friday Kaseberg Hawk Families.  This past week was our first full week back on campus with students from our ASD classes.  It has filled my bucket seeing students on campus and so excited to be here.  We can't wait to see the rest of you very soon.  This coming Thursday, October 15th is a very important board meeting that will discuss possible reopening plans for a traditional five days a week schedule.  I encourage you to listen in at 6:00pm if you have a chance.  In the coming weeks, we will have much more information coming your way for our in-person plans that start November 4th.  Stay tuned and have the best weekend with these cool fall temps!

Healthy and Safety Protocols

Here is a document that has been shared with us by Placer County Office of Education that discusses the protocols that families and staff will follow when we return to campus for COVID related illnesses.  This document will be updated again before we return on November 4th, but I felt it was important for parents to have access to view different scenarios now.  Please reach out to Principal Duncan if you have any questions.  Health and Safety Protocols LINK
