Kramer Enews 11/10/23

 

School News and Information

We have had another great week at Kramer!  The students and teachers are actively involved in amazing learning activities and the kids are applying their new skills each and every day. 

 

As a friendly reminder, the Thanksgiving break is just around the corner, starting on November 20th. Classes will resume on Monday, November 27, 2023. We hope everyone enjoys a restful and joyful holiday with their family and friends. This will be our last E-News before Thanksgiving. 

 

A quick note about the lost and found: we've accumulated numerous items, so please encourage your child to check for any belongings they may have misplaced. It's also a good opportunity to remind everyone to label their items. This simple step can make a significant difference in ensuring lost items find their way back to their owners.

Attendance Reminder! 

ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL PROCEDURES 

Before 8:30 a.m. on the day of absence, a parent/guardian should call the Attendance line, Kramer Office at 513-273-3500, to report a student absent from school. This line is available 24 hours a day. If a parent has called the Attendance line, a written note WILL NOT be necessary. If a call has not been received, the Office will begin making home phone calls to missing students by 8:30 a.m. in compliance with the Missing Child Act. Students who have not been called in and wish to have his/her absence excused MUST, within 5 school days, present a note stating the date(s) of absence, reason of absence, and parent/guardian signature. Parents may excuse their child for a total of TEN days each school year. After TEN days of parent excuses, all absences will be considered UNEXCUSED unless supported by a doctor's note. Vacation days may be excused as part of the 10 total Parent notes.
