Happy Friday!
It was wonderful to welcome our students back into the halls after spring break! The energy and excitement they bring each day are amazing!
Next week, we will begin state testing in grades 3, 4, and 5. We understand this can be a stressful time for some students, and we sincerely appreciate your support at home, especially by ensuring your child gets a good night's sleep and arrives at school on time. These small routines make a big difference! Testing will continue throughout April. Thank you for your continued partnership!
Don't forget that our PTG cakeroll pickup is next Tuesday, April 15, from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm in the Kramer Cafeteria. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Kramer PTG: kramerptg@gmail.com
*Friendly Drop-Off Reminder*
To ensure the safety of all our students, please remember to use the designated vehicle drop-off line at the back of the building each morning. Officer Sikora has kindly spoken with a few parents who have been dropping students off at the front, but this area is reserved for families who park and walk their children in, as well as our bus riders. We have staff members ready and available at the back to assist your children safely into school. Thank you for your cooperation!
Have you connected your Kroger Rewards card to the Kramer PTG yet? Each account can be connected to ONE nonprofit. When you use this feature, Kroger donates a percentage of your expenses to our PTG. You just have to sign up once!
RAH
Attention families of Kindergarteners, 1st, and 2nd Graders:
Don't Forget to turn in your RAH (Reading At Home) Sheets EVERY WEDNESDAY!
RAH is a voluntary program designed to encourage students to read by rewarding their reading achievements at home. Books can be read by, to, or with your student.
Fill the record sheet by reading books (remember they can read independently, with you, or even just listen to you read to them.) Color in a book on their RAH record sheet for each book or 10 pages of a chapter book. Then every Wednesday students who return a completed RAH sheet will receive a weekly reward. Rewards will alternate weekly between a small prize (pencils, erasers, bookmarks, etc.) and a book of their choosing from the RAH Book Cart. (Sheets can be sent into school any day, but rewards are only distributed on Wednesdays each week.) We will reward students for 1 sheet each week; extra sheets will be "banked" and rewarded at the end of the school year. A new record sheet will be sent home each Wednesday with their reward. (If you misplace your record sheet, no worries! Just record "20 Books Read" on a piece of paper with student name, teacher name, and parent signature, and send it in to school.
Thanks for all your support, and Let's Get Reading!
5th Grade Tour of TMS
