Kramer Elementary

Happy Friday!

We have had a fantastic week of learning! The classrooms have been buzzing with excitement as students dive into new lessons, explore fresh concepts, and build on their knowledge each and every day. From hands-on activities to engaging discussions, the energy in the hallways is contagious!

Please note the change of conference dates in October. Parent/teacher conferences will now be TUESDAY October 15th and WEDNESDAY October 16th.

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.
