It has been a cold, frigid week! We hope you've stayed warm. Despite the weather, our teachers have been providing outstanding lessons in the classrooms. Also, for our 3rd through 5th graders, the focus on STEM has brought engaging, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and creativity.

Please remember that there is no school on Friday, January 17, 2025, for district PD day. Additionally, there will be no school on Monday, January 20, 2025, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Looking ahead, next week is expected to remain cold, with more snow in the forecast. If your child needs any hats, gloves, coats, or warm clothing, please call the Kramer office—we’re here to help.


Have a great weekend!


*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!

*DISMISSAL CHANGES*

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

RAH

Attention families of Kindergarteners, 1st, and 2nd Graders:

Don't Forget to turn in your RAH (Reading At Home) Sheets EVERY WEDNESDAY!

RAH is a voluntary program designed to encourage students to read by rewarding their reading achievements at home. Books can be read by, to, or with your student.

Fill the record sheet by reading books (remember they can read independently, with you, or even just listen to you read to them.) Color in a book on their RAH record sheet for each book or 10 pages of a chapter book. Then every Wednesday students who return a completed RAH sheet will receive a weekly reward. Rewards will alternate weekly between a small prize (pencils, erasers, bookmarks, etc.) and a book of their choosing from the RAH Book Cart. (Sheets can be sent into school any day, but rewards are only distributed on Wednesdays each week.) We will reward students for 1 sheet each week; extra sheets will be "banked" and rewarded at the end of the school year. A new record sheet will be sent home each Wednesday with their reward. (If you misplace your record sheet, no worries! Just record "20 Books Read" on a piece of paper with student name, teacher name, and parent signature, and send it in to school.


Thanks for all your support, and Let's Get Reading!
