Happy Halloween!
What an interesting week at Kramer Elementary! You could tell the kids were ready to celebrate today. Thank you to all of our parents and volunteers who came in to help with class parties and view our parade!
Please see the PTG section below regarding our lost and found. We have accumulated quite the pile! Check the pictures below or come in to the office to see if anything belongs to your student. Anything left after Thanksgiving break will be donated.
** NO SCHOOL TUESDAY 11/4 FOR ELECTION DAY**
We hope everyone has a great weekend!
Student Fees:
Fees have been loaded to Payschools Central 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 Payschools Central 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.

This month, our classes co-created a PAX Vision Board as part of the PAX Good Behavior Game. Together, students and teachers identified what they want to see more and less of, and what they should do more and less of to build a community focused on peace, productivity, health, and happiness.
By working together, we’re setting a shared vision for our classrooms—a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and ready to learn. And it's not only in the classroom! This will stretch into the cafeteria, specials and even in the hallways.
Ask your student about their classrooms vision!

Read At Home
Attention Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade families: RAH begins on Wednesday September 24th. 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.
Have you connected your Kroger Rewards card to the Kramer PTG yet? Each account can be connected to ONE nonprofit. When you use this feature, Kroger donates a percentage of your expenses to our PTG. You just have to sign up once!
