Kramer Family Newsletter

Dear Kramer Families,

This week most of our Kinder-5th grade students took the mid-year iReady Assessment. It is a great way to track student progress and determine what support students need so that they may continue their growth. Please be on the lookout for a message from your teacher with the Middle of Year report of their results in Reading and Math.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Go Colts!

Most students took their Reading and Math iReady Assessments this week, while several classes will take their Reading assessment next week. Your teachers will provide a report and share more details about the results in the next parent conferences.
