School News and Information
Happy Friday! Our 5th graders completed their Ohio State testing this week, and we are proud of their hard work and dedication. They showed great focus and determination throughout the testing period, and we are excited to see the results.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to the Kramer PTG for sponsoring the field trips to the Cincinnati Zoo for our 2nd and 3rd graders. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about the animals and their habitats, and we appreciate the PTG's support in making these field trips possible.
As we move forward, we will continue with our MAP and AimsWeb testing for students in grades K-5. These assessments provide valuable insight into each student's academic progress and help us tailor our teaching to meet their individual needs. We appreciate your support in ensuring your child is well-prepared for these tests.
Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education. We look forward to another great week in the classroom.

Walk, Bike, & Roll to School
We had over 100 students participate in our Walk, Bike, & Roll to School day on May 3rd. Thank you to all of the families who helped the students get to school safely. Thank you to Amy Macechko and Rox the Fox for meeting and greeting students at Kramer.
Carla Blackmar-Rice (Kramer parent and PTG Volunteer Coordinator) brainstormed some ideas for walking school buses for next school year. A good first step would be to survey participants about their travel time to school so we could use this in route planning. Please use this link to fill out information for potential walking school buses for next year.
Walking School Bus 3-second Survey
Bus Transportation for Next School Year
All families who live more than two miles from the school & need bus transportation must complete a Transportation Form and turn it into the school office by June 8th. A detailed TSD Update for Tier One Transportation & Transportation Form was sent home in your child’s Friday Folder.
