Kramer Family Newsletter

Dear Kramer Families,

Thank you to all of you who attended parent conferences! The partnership between families and their child's teacher is essential to providing a strong educational foundation for students! If you did not have an opportunity to sign up, we encourage you to stay connected to teachers and the school through Remind and weekly newsletters. You can always reach out and we are happy to set up meetings and maintain open lines of communication!

We also want to encourage learning about and staying connected with our feeder schools, Franklin MS and Hillcrest HS. Make plans to attend Franklin MS Fall Festival! All ages welcome!

Go Colts!
