 Message from Principal Duncan~

Dear Kaseberg Elementary Families,

I hope you are enjoying a joyful and restful summer! As we gear up for the 2025–2026 school year, I’m thrilled to welcome back our returning students and extend a heartfelt welcome to our new families joining the Kaseberg community. The start of a new year always brings excitement, fresh opportunities, and the promise of continued growth—and I can't wait to get started alongside your amazing children.

Last year, our school made incredible strides—outperforming 99% of schools across California and standing out as one of 33 schools in CA to receive the highest achievement in education and being named a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School.  In addition, Kaseberg Elementary was also recognized as a 2025 CA Distinguished School. These results are a powerful testament to the passion, resilience, and dedication of our students, staff, and families. This year, we’re ready to continue that upward momentum and keep raising the bar for what’s possible.

As always, our mission remains clear: to create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every student is known, supported, and challenged. We are dedicated to meeting each child where they are and helping them grow into confident learners and compassionate individuals.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership—it is truly the heartbeat of our success. Here’s to an incredible year ahead filled with learning, connection, and new milestones. Let’s make 2025–2026 our best year yet!

Warm Regards, 

Melissa Duncan

Kaseberg Principal

Grass Area Closed After Dismissal~

We love seeing our Kaseberg community spending time together after school! However, we kindly ask that families avoid gathering or playing in the grassy area in front of our classrooms after dismissal.

Recently, increased activity in that space has led to some unintended issues, including damage to flower beds, rocks being kicked up near parked cars, and noise that makes it challenging for staff to continue working in their classrooms.

To help maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone, we encourage families to head to the park just around the corner if you'd like to stay and connect after school. Since we do not have supervision available in that area, your support helps us ensure a calm and safe campus for all.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our staff and school community!

3rd-5th Grade CAASPP Information~

There are many ways to measure your child’s learning. Your child’s teacher uses report card grades, classroom work, teacher observations, and end-of-year statewide test results to get a complete picture of your child’s learning. Each year, students participate in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). 

Your child will take the following tests, depending on their grade level or instructional program:

• Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English Language Arts and Math, required tests in grades 3–8 

• California Science Test (CAST), a required test in grades 5 and 8 

Pursuant to California Education Code Section 60615, parents/guardians may annually submit to the school a written request to excuse their child from any or all of the CAASPP assessments. This exemption does not exist for the English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC) or Physical Fitness Test.

For more information on the assessments, please review this Statewide Testing Notification.

The 2024-2025 testing schedule for the Roseville City School District is listed below:

April 7th - April 11th, 2025: California Science Test (CAST) for grades 8

April 22nd - April 25th, 2025: California Science Test (CAST) for grades 5
