We had an amazing week at Kramer Elementary! Field trip fun, class picnics and a successful Kramer Mile! We had a great time playing outside and especially appreciated Mr. Otto joining us for basketball on the blacktop! Thank you to all who donated and helped support your Kramer kids and the PTG! And a very big thank you to our PTG for calling in the Tropicool truck for a sweet treat during our lunch picnics! And we can not forget about the stellar turn out for our 1st ever Unplug and Play event!

We have a lot more fun planned for next week! Don't forget about Field Day next Friday!

Have a great weekend!

To help ensure students arrive at their correct dismissal location, we kindly ask that you contact the main office by 2:30 PM if there are any changes to your child’s dismissal plan. While we understand that emergencies can happen, we’ve noticed a significant increase in last-minute changes around 3:00 PM, which can cause confusion and delays.

By notifying us by 2:30 PM, we can make sure your child receives a dismissal note and reaches the right spot after school.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us

*Friendly Drop-Off Reminder*

To ensure the safety of all our students, please remember to use the designated vehicle drop-off line at the back of the building each morning. Officer Sikora has kindly spoken with a few parents who have been dropping students off at the front, but this area is reserved for families who park and walk their children in, as well as our bus riders. We have staff members ready and available at the back to assist your children safely into school. Thank you for your cooperation!

Student Fees:

Fees have been loaded to Talawanda EZ pay If you wish to pay online. You can also pay in the office with cash or check.

Lunch Accounts:

As a reminder, you are able to add funds to your student's lunch account through the Talawanda EZ Pay system. If your student's account reaches -$50 it will be rolled into your school fees. Please be mindful and keep your student's account current. You can use Talawanda EZ Pay, send a check or cash to the school office to take care of your student's balance.

Free and Reduced:

If you would like to apply for free or reduced lunches, please reach out to the Kramer office or Kramer social worker, Chelsea Pike. We can help walk you through the online application or help you fill out a paper form in the office. If you qualify for FREE lunch, your fees will also be waived. (EXCEPT for 5th grade Chromebook fee) If you qualify for REDUCED, fees will be reduced by 85% (EXCEPT for 5th grade Chromebook fee) and meals will be FREE.

Final Forms:

Remember, if you have any changes to your information (phone number, address, who can pick up your student, etc) throughout the school year, change it in Final Forms! The office is notified of these changes and will update our information. IF you have an address change, you must submit new proof of residency to the office before we will update your address.

It's that time of the year - time for the 5th Grade Pool Party! Join your fellow "graduating" 5th graders for a pool party celebration on Sunday, June 1st, from 6 to 8 PM at the Oxford Aquatic Center. This is a great time to celebrate and meet new friends before starting 6th grade at TMS in August. This is a drop-off event for the 5th graders; chaperones and lifeguards will be on duty for the entire time. Parents - please sign up to chaperone or donate items using the QR code. Thank you to the Bogan, Kramer, and Marshall PTGs for organizing the event!
