Kramer Elementary E-News
March 30, 2020
School News and Information
Happy Monday! I hope that you were able to enjoy the nice weather the past couple of days and get outside in your yard. This is certainly a new experience for almost all of us. Since the last E-News we have had a few changes. We had the official state order to Stay at Home and the state legislature provided more flexibility for schools by eliminating state testing and allowing us to use online learning days to make up any missed days of instruction. I hope everyone is safe and healthy. I hope that you are following all guidelines, washing your hands and practicing social distancing. This has been a huge adjustment for all. Please hang in there and take care of yourself and your family. We will get through this together!
Today is our first day back from Spring Break. E-Learning begins again today. I have seen a number of emails go out to families and the staff has some great lessons planned. Please let your child’s teacher know if you had issues during the first 3 days. At the bottom of this E-News is a link to teacher emails. This week will be a full week of online learning and we want to see all students engaged in all of the learning activities. Thank you for continuing the learning going on at home!
If you are having any issues with iPads or ChromeBooks, please let your child’s teacher know. We have been coordinating replacement cords, and devices.
Virtual Spirit Week
Thank you to the Kramer PTG for coming up with a virtual spirit week. See the themes below. Please email pictures, post them to the Kramer PTG Facebook Page or Tweet them out! Lets have some fun this week!

Health and Safety
For resources on addressing the coronavirus please visit:

During this time away from school please stay at home, cover your coughs using your elbow, avoid the touching of your eyes, nose and mouth, and wash your hands frequently. The purpose of this closure is to slow the spread of the virus and this can only be done if each of us takes a few extra precautions. This also means not using the school grounds as a place to gather and play - our playgrounds and schools grounds are closed. Be safe and stay healthy.
