Welcome to Miss Kramer's Speech/Language Homepage! 

I will be starting my 21st year at Tri-City this school year (2025-2026) and I am so excited to be working with my students again!  I have lots of new plans and ideas for the school year!!  You can see a copy of my parent letter by choosing the link.  Please feel free to contact me at the Elementary phone number (364-4035) - you can leave a voicemail at extension 177 - or by email (kkramer@tricityschools.org) at any time.  You can also use the Remind App (for Junior High and High school students) or School Status Connect (formerly ClassTag - for Elementary students) to contact me from your smartphone or by email.
