School News and Information

Happy Friday!  We had a great week at Kramer.  We had Halloween fun early in the week, and the students and teachers participated in some great lessons later in the week. 


There is no school for students on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, for election day.  The buildings are used for voting.  This is a staff data/work day.  

 

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.  We have a large number of jackets, sweatshirts, coats, and other items in our last and found.  Please have your child look for any lost items.  

 

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.

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.
