 Message from Principal Duncan

Well, we have officially made it to the end of the school year!  When I look back on this year, it feels like a blur and like it lasted forever, yet went by so fast.  We made it through 3 months of distance learning, reopening with strict COVID protocols, MANY classes quarantined and yet our students thrived and did better than we could have ever imagined.  Their success is 100% due to our community and staff coming together to be their best for our Kaseberg Hawks!  I am proud of many things this year, but I am most proud of our resiliency during tough times and constant focus on what is best for kids in all that we do.  This community is amazing, our students are lucky to have each and every one of you and I hope you all have the best summer...filled with self-care, vacations, relaxation, and family time!  I am excited to see what 2021/2022 has in store for us.💙💚💛

Report Cards Emailed Home

All report cards will be emailed home to families this Thursday, May 27th at 3:00pm.  You will only see Trimester 3 grades on the end o the year report since our Learning Standards are a year-long progression and we want to show families where their child ended the year with yearlong learning expectations.  

I-Ready Reports Mailed Home 3rd-5th Grade ONLY

Our 3rd-5th graders did not take the CAASPP State testing this year due to COVID.  In its place, all 3rd-5th grade students took the I-ready Diagnostic, which shows your child's strengths in reading and math, in addition to areas of need for additional support.  We will be mailing families their child's I-ready scores this Thursday, May 27th.

We are in the home stretch with only 10 more days to go before the summer break.  These last two weeks on campus we are focusing on our monthly Character Trait of Citizenship, finishing our I-ready testing, and wrapping up the year with some fun activities.  As a district, we are eagerly waiting for more information on what next year might look like and as soon as we get more information we will share it with our Kaseberg Families.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and we will see you on Monday!

Teachers Who Make a Difference Award Winner

Olivia Elkins – Ms.Elkins continually goes above and beyond to meet the diverse needs of

every student in her classroom. She creates an environment in her class where every child feels welcomed, cared for, and celebrated daily. She exemplifies what it means to be a Teacher Who Makes a Difference.

Parent Quote:

Ms. Olivia Elkins, our teacher is the absolute best. My child's success has been driven and created by her knowledge, guidance and care. She is extremely knowledgeable and cares deeply about her students and their successes. We need more teachers with her drive, her passion and her love for her students. She is absolutely irreplaceable and deserves SO much recognition for the incredibly hard, and sometimes thankless job she does. I cannot say enough positive things about her. She is PRICELESS. Take care of her and support her! She is a shining star!

 Message from Principal Duncan

Happy Sunday and I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend!  These past two weeks have been busy at Kaseberg and filled with lots of fun.  We completed our Dance-a-thon and it was a HUGE success thanks to all of you.  We have also been preparing for the end of the school year with only 4 weeks left to go until summer break.  It is hard to believe that this school year is winding down, but our staff and students are focusing on ending the year strong and learning as much as we can in these final weeks.  Keep up the great work Hawks!  

Congratulations to our Dance-a-thon Winners!!!

Parent Survey Needed

We need your help!  All students were sent home with a Parent Survey that we need all families to fill out.  This will provide our leadership team with information on how we can best support our Kaseberg Families and Community in the next school year.  It is essential and very important to our Kaseberg Team that we get your feedback to always make sure we are meeting the needs of our Kaseberg Community.  If you would rather fill out the Parent Survey digitally there is a link below.  

• Parent Survey DUE Friday, May 14th.
• ONE survey filled out per family

5th Grade Promotion Kaseberg Plan

Due to COVID Precautions, we will not be able to have parents on campus for our annual 5th Grade Promotion.  This year we will hold a 5th-grade Promotion on campus in our quad where our 5th graders will receive their promotion certificate from their teacher and enjoy a Luau Themed Pizza party.  We will videotape the ceremony and send it to all families to watch and enjoy at a later time.  Thank you to our PTC for providing decorations and Pizza for our 5th graders.  

Tardies and School Start Time

As a reminder to families we open our gates at 8:00am, but school starts PROMPTLY at 8:15am.  We are asking that students are in the classroom by 8:15am.  We have had a large number of students showing up late for school and we are still tracking tardies on our end.  Thank you for your diligence in ensuring your child is in school and on time daily.
