Kramer Elementary
E-News
We want to give a HUGE thank you to all who came out to the Kramer Carnival! It was amazing to see our families having fun, students from years past, teachers, a few Talawanda board members and community all in one place to support our Kramer students! With your GENEROUS giving, our PTG was able to bring in $10,482 that will go towards field trips and help support our classrooms. And we can't forget to give a BIG round of applause to our Kramer PTG for organizing this event!
Conferences are next Tuesday and Thursday 4:00 - 7:30. Your student's teacher will send a link for you to sign up for a day and time. We also have picture retakes on Thursday. Links to pre order are below.
NO SCHOOL NEXT FRIDAY 10/17!!
Have a great weekend Kramer!
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!

Conference Meals
Parent-Teacher Conference Week:
Parent-Teacher Conferences are next week! It's Tuesday, October 14 and Thursday, October 16 (donated by El Potrero). To help teachers get through the long conference days, PTG pays for the 'core' of the meal, and we need parent/guardian donations to provide appetizers, fruit/veggies, desserts, and other items. We also need parents/guardians to help with setup and clean-up on both days. If you are interested in helping in any way, please click on this link to sign up and for more details.
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!
