We’ve had another great week in the classroom filled with engaging lessons and active student participation. Looking ahead, please remember that there will be no school on Monday, February 17, 2025, in observance of Presidents’ Day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.


*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

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.

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.

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.

Parent-Teacher Conference Week

Parent-Teacher Conference week is coming up soon! It's Thursday, March 6 and Tuesday, March 11. To help teachers get through the long conference days, PTG pays for the 'core' of the meal, and we need parent/guardian volunteers and donations to provide the extras and side options. We also need parents/guardians to help with setup and clean-up on both days. Here is the link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A044CABAA22ABF94-54497910-spring

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!
