Happy Friday!
Welcome to the refreshed edition of our weekly E-News. A big thank you to Mrs. Roy for her hard work in revamping our format and adding some exciting new features. We hope you enjoy the updated look and feel!
This week, our classrooms were buzzing with energy as students engaged in a series of amazing lessons. Our teachers continue to plan creative and impactful learning experiences, and it's been wonderful to see the students so immersed in their work.

*NOTES FROM THE OFFICE*
Student Fees:
Fees have been loaded to Talawanda EZ pay If you wish to pay online. You can also pay in the office with cash or check.
Lunch Accounts:
As a reminder, you are able to add funds to your student's lunch account through the Talawanda EZ Pay system. If your student's account reaches -$50 it will be rolled into your school fees. Please be mindful and keep your student's account current. You can use Talawanda EZ Pay, send a check or cash to the school office to take care of your student's balance.
Free and Reduced:
If you would like to apply for free or reduced lunches, please reach out to the Kramer office or Kramer social worker, Chelsea Pike. We can help walk you through the online application or help you fill out a paper form in the office. If you qualify for FREE lunch, your fees will also be waived. (EXCEPT for 5th grade Chromebook fee) If you qualify for REDUCED, fees will be reduced by 85% (EXCEPT for 5th grade Chromebook fee) and meals will be FREE.
Final Forms:
Remember, if you have any changes to your information (phone number, address, who can pick up your student, etc) throughout the school year, change it in Final Forms! The office is notified of these changes and will update our information. IF you have an address change, you must submit new proof of residency to the office before we will update your address.
*Kramer Vehicle Information*
Our vehicle drop-off and pick-up procedures have been improving each day. When dropping off or picking up your child, please keep a few important points in mind:
If possible, please drop off and pick up from the passenger side of your vehicle. Our staff is available to assist you.
Please be patient when exiting the parking lot. Safety is our top priority, so slow down and refrain from passing cars at the back entrance.
