KRAMER E-NEWS 8/6/21

 

Welcome to the 2020-21 school year!  We are excited to have everyone back at Kramer for the upcoming school year.  We hope you have all had a great summer!

 

At the July 8, 2021 meeting the Talawanda Board of Education decided that masks will be required for students and visitors in our PreK-5th grade buildings for the start of the 2021-22 school year.  This decision was based on creating a safe environment for all and also based on CDC guidance, especially in our buildings where we know students cannot be vaccinated.

 

School Opening

The 1st day for students in grades 1st through 5th-grade is Wednesday, August 18, 2021.  The first day of school for kindergarten and 1st-grade students is Monday, August 23, 2021. The school day will begin at 9:20  am and we will finish at 4:15 pm. (3:30 pm on Wednesdays).  Students may enter the building for breakfast starting at 9:10 am.  Students that do not eat breakfast at Kramer may enter the building at 9:20 a.m.  Our first early dismissal Wednesday will be our first day of school at 3:30 pm on August 18th. 

 

Make sure to join us at Open House on Tuesday, August 17th from 4:30-6:00 pm.
