Happy Friday!


Thank you for a fun week! The students and staff had fun with the Homecoming themes. Don’t forget the Homecoming parade is tonight.


Parade Route: The parade begins (approximately 6 pm) by heading east on Sycamore and making a right turn onto College Ave. Continuing towards town, the route takes a left onto West High St., followed by another left onto North Campus. Finally, it concludes with a left turn onto East Sycamore, leading back to Kramer Elementary.


There is no school tomorrow (9/20) for a district data and collaboration day. Students will return on Monday, September 23, 2024.

Attention Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade families: RAH begins on Wednesday September 25th. This will be our first reward day, so please return your RAH sheet by Wednesday!


Kramer RAH (Reading At Home) is a voluntary program from K-2nd graders that builds a home-school connection by rewarding students for reading at home. Each week students record the books they've read and turn-in record sheets for rewards. Rewards alternate between a student selected book and a small prize.

Routine Chart

Consistent routines provide comfort and a sense of safety to young children. Following a schedule each day makes children feel safer and happier, which often leads to better behavior and cooperation. When they know what to expect, and what’s expected of them, kids feel more comfortable and confident about what lies ahead.
