School News and Information

Happy Thursday!  Friendly reminder, there is no school tomorrow, Friday, October 13, 2023, for Fall Break. Students return on Monday, October 16, 2023.

 

As the weather starts to get cooler, please send in a sweatshirt or coat with your child. Some grades have a recess in the morning when it is pretty chilly out still.  Please label coats with your child’s name.

 

Conferences are next week, October 17th & 19th.  If you have not received any information about conferences, please reach out to your child’s teacher.

 

PTG Information

Fall Conference Meals

Fall conferences are on Tuesday, Oct. 17th & Thursday, Oct. 19th.  The teachers go straight from a day of teaching to conferences.  The PTG provides dinner on both nights to ensure teachers have a good meal & to show our appreciation.  PTG provides the main course & we ask our PTG families to volunteer to provide the sides, desserts & drinks.  On Tuesday the teachers are having submarine sandwiches.  On Thursday they are having soup & salad.  Please consider donating for one or both nights.  It can be homemade or store-bought.  If you don't have time & would prefer to just send in money, a check, or a Kroger gift card, that works too!  Send to school, addressed to "Kramer PTG Conference Meals".  

Please read the Signup Genius to see what we need.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0949AFAC23ABF58-44967542-fall#/

 

Thank you as always for your support of our Kramer staff & the PTG!  If you have any questions, please contact Molly Farler, kramerptg@gmail.com.

 

Attendance Reminder! 

ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL PROCEDURES 

Before 8:30 a.m. on the day of absence, a parent/guardian should call the Attendance line, Kramer Office at 513-273-3500, to report a student absent from school. This line is available 24 hours a day. If a parent has called the Attendance line, a written note WILL NOT be necessary. If a call has not been received, the Office will begin making home phone calls to missing students by 8:30 a.m. in compliance with the Missing Child Act. Students who have not been called in and wish to have his/her absence excused MUST, within 5 school days, present a note stating the date(s) of absence, reason of absence, and parent/guardian signature. Parents may excuse their child for a total of TEN days each school year. After TEN days of parent excuses, all absences will be considered UNEXCUSED unless supported by a doctor's note. Vacation days may be excused as part of the 10 total Parent notes.
