Kramer Family Newsletter

Dear Kramer Families,

We had a wonderful week filled with festivities, and we’re thrilled to see the excitement among our students! Some of the fun included Red Ribbon Week, a Storybook Character Parade, and Storybook Character Pumpkin Contest. As we continue to encourage engagement and attendance, we also want to emphasize the importance of literacy. Reading plays a vital role in their development, so we encourage you to support and motivate your children to read at home. Aim for 30 minutes per day!

Thank you for your continued support!

Go Colts!

We are lucky to have Ms. Salo on the Kramer Team! She teaches 5th grade Reading and Language Arts. Her dedication, positivity and passion for student success shines through every day! Congratulations, Ms. Salo!

Beginning the week of November 4, family members will be allowed to eat with their child during their lunch on Thursdays and Fridays at designated tables. There will be a designated table in the cafeteria for family members and their child only. The outdoor tables just outside to the cafeteria are available as well. Visitors must limit their visit time to lunch only and exit at the end of lunch. Due to the limited space, please limit your visits to no more than twice per month. Thank you for your patience as we implement this new system.

YMCA will offer a holiday camp at the T. Boone Pickens Family YMCA on October 10, 11, and 14, from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. This camp is available for families who may need care during these dates when DISD is off.
