Message from Principal Duncan~

    

Welcome back to the 2021-2022 school year at Kaseberg Elementary!  To say that we are excited for the return to a fairly normal school year with our students and staff is an understatement.  I truly hope that your summer was filled with family time, vacations, memory making, and some relaxation as well.  Our staff and I have been working hard these past few weeks to ensure our classrooms are ready for our students and that all safety protocols are in place.  

    This school year we are looking forward to bringing back some of our very valued programs, such as music for all students, PE in the classroom, before and after school opportunities, and some of our favorite PTC events.  Students will also have the opportunity to work collaboratively in the classroom and on the playground due to no social distancing requirements.  We are looking forward to a school year that brings FUN back into the classroom and around campus.💛 

    Thank you to our Kaseberg Community for always supporting our staff and students through this past school year and what this school year may bring.  As I have always said, we truly could not do it without each and every one of you.  Keep being amazing and we will see you on August 5th Kaseberg Hawks!  Go Hawks!

Important Information~

Mask Wearing Expectations~

Mask wearing will be required for ALL students, adults, and staff during the school day while students are on campus.  This includes all staff and volunteers whether you are vaccinated or not.  If your child shows up to school without a face covering we will provide a mask for them to wear during the school day.

First Day of School Expectations~

Our gates will open at 8:30 am for kids to enter campus and have a "Walk and Talk" morning recess before class starts.  This is for General Education students only.  Our ASD program starts at 8:40.

We will be serving breakfast for any student that would like to eat in our MPR before school starts.  Breakfast will be served from 8:15 am-8:40 am each morning.  

No parents will be allowed past our gates during the school year for drop-off and pick-up.  This includes the first day of school.

• ASD student Side Gate- This gate will be used for our ASD students ONLY

Volunteers on Campus~

We will be allowed to have volunteers on campus this school year with a limited capacity due to COVID restrictions.  We will have no volunteers on campus for the first month of school to allow for our teachers and students to get acclimated to the new school year and full-day expectations. I will send out more information regarding parent volunteers in the coming weeks.  We encourage parents to support their child's teacher and be a part of our school community.  We can't do this without YOU!
