Message from Principal Duncan~
What a wonderful first six weeks of school with our students. Starting the school year later in August has made these first few months fly by and we are now into fall and almost into October. Our students are now in their routines for the school day and well into their new learnings. All of our classrooms have started their reading/math small groups to ensure students are getting the additional support that they need in core content areas and extending learning for those that are ready.
We would like to give a HUGE shout-out and THANK YOU to the Pembroke Family for building and creating our new, amazing Lending Library at the front of our school. Our students were so excited to see it and we are excited to offer FREE books to our students to borrow. As a Lending Library site, we encourage students to take books home to read and then return them when they are done enjoying them. It is imperative that our students are reading 20 minutes a night and we want to ensure all students have access to books that they enjoy!
Important Information~
New Playground Fence Complete~
We are so excited to announce that our new fence is complete around our playground. We are fortunate and so happy to have this additional safety measure in place for our students and staff. For students who use the back entrance and exit of our campus, we will have a staff member assigned to unlock the gate by Adventure Club. Only students will be allowed past this gate and no guardians will be allowed past the Adventure Club gate during school hours.
Progress Reports Going Home~
We are halfway through the first trimester already. Any student who we anticipate will be receiving a "Beginning" level on their first-trimester report card will have a Progress Report sent home this Friday, Sept 30th in their Friday folder. Please review your child's progress and ways to support them at home.
- Progress Reports going home Friday, Sept 30th
We are happy to bring back the Snow Cone Truck for students to purchase snow cones after school since the weather will be cooling down soon. Parents will be allowed past the front gate after school to purchase snow cones with their children.
Where: Kaseberg Quad
When: Wed, Sept 28th
Time: 12:45pm-1:30pm
No Food or Cupcakes for Birthday~
To comply with our district wellness policy we will no longer allow food items or cupcakes to be brought to school for birthday celebrations. This is a policy that has been in place at Kaseberg Elementary for a few years. Below is a copy of what we have stated in our student handbook regarding birthday treats:
We encourage students and staff to celebrate a child’s birthday at school, but we ask that NO FOOD ITEMS are brought to school for birthdays. Students can bring non-food items for their class, such as pencils, stickers, etc. Thank you for supporting our nutritional program at school.
- Popcorn Friday: Friday, October 7th
- Don't forget to send your child to school with 25 cents to purchase a bag of popcorn. (Max purchase of 2 bags per student)
- Fall Family Festival: Saturday, October 29th
- More information will be coming out in early October for this amazing fall event.
