Happy Friday!  


Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

I have attached the arrival and dismissal procedures for Kramer.  Please remember to stay in a single file line.  Please pull forward past the 2nd crosswalk to drop off students.  Please have your child exit on the passenger side of the car.  After you drop off or pick up, please use the outer loop to exit the property.  Please do not drive through the front row of parked cars.  Please do not enter the driveway to the bus loop to drop off or pickup students.  If you need to get out of your car, please use one of the parking spots and walk your student toward the building.  We do not want to have cars blocking Sycamore or Locust Street.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Kramer office.

 

HB 410- Attendance Information

HB 410 is a new mandate from the state of Ohio regarding attendance.  I have added the HB 410 information in the attachments.  If you have any questions, please contact the Kramer office and ask to speak to Jason Merz.

 

Destination Imagination

Destination Imagination is an innovative creative problem-solving program for participants from kindergarten through high school. Teams of 5 to 7 participants are challenged to solve one of five unique Team Challenges and an Instant Challenge with no adult assistance.  Each of the five Challenges offers participants an opportunity to explore art, literature, drama, engineering, architecture, and improvisation. Interest forms have been sent home in today's Friday Folders!

 

Our regional tournament will be held in March at Miami University. Teams forming will require a parent or other adult that is willing to volunteer their time to be a team manager.  Free Manager/Coach training sessions are available in the fall.

 

It is time to begin forming and registering teams for this year. Please contact me in the near future if you are interested in helping to coach/manage a Destination Imagination team this year. Without managers, we cannot have teams. We will be hosting an information meeting about Destination Imagination on Wednesday, September 27th at 6:30 p.m. in the PDC at the Nelson Morrow Building located at 909 S. Main Street (directly behind SDS pizza). Parents and students are welcome to attend. We will explain the program, how teams are formed, and how to become a team manager. Sign ups will also be available for children interested in participating.

Student and Parent Volunteers Needed!  My name is Jen Green and I am teaching a course in psychological assessment at Miami. My students are graduate students in clinical psychology.  The course involves learning about different assessment techniques, such as interviewing, observations and tests.  The students need to practice these assessment methods with children and adolescents of all different ages and with parents.  We are looking for child/adolescent and parent volunteers to help the students practice and learn.  If you child does participate, he or she will most likely have fun and will earn a small reward/prize.  The tests are interesting and challenging and most children really enjoy the contact with the graduate students.  Please contact me at greenjh@miamioh.edu or 529-2448 to learn more about helping our graduate students in their training to become psychologists.

 

If you have not received an email from our online registration process, “Final Forms” please contact the Kramer office at: 513-273-3500  The office will be able to assist you.

If you need access to a computer to fill out the forms our friends at the Oxford Lane Library will be happy to assist you.
