School News and Information

Happy Friday!  We hope you’ve had a great week.

 

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.

 

A big thank you to Molly Farler for her contribution to taking care of the main dishes for our conference meals. We'd also like to express our gratitude to all the families who generously donated items for these meals. Your support and the delicious food and caffeine are greatly appreciated. 

 

Have a fantastic weekend, and stay warm as the weather continues to cool down!

 

Vehicle Line- Dismissal

We have had several families recently walk down to the vehicle line to pick up their students and walk them back to the car.  If you are picking up your child to walk them to your car, you must meet them in the front of the building.  These children are considered walkers and are released several minutes after vehicle pick-up.  Only students being picked up in a vehicle will wait in the lower lot. 


We have cars driving through the parking lot and want to keep all students safe.  If your child is not going to be in the pick-up line, please meet them in front of Kramer.

 

Halloween- October 31, 2023

We will celebrate Halloween on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.  Costumes will be permitted with the following guidelines:

1. No Costume Masks

2. No Props

3. Minimal Makeup

4. Costumes must be worn to school.  There will not be a “change time”.  Please make sure that your child will be able to function comfortably throughout the day (bathroom needs, recess, school work, specials) while wearing his/her costume.

We will have our, “parade” outside at 8:15.  If it is raining, we will go with an inside walk through the bottom level of Kramer.

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.
