Mr. Kurt Sutton
Krause Later Elementary Principal
Principal's Welcome
Orville C. Krause Later Elementary
Welcomes You!
Krause Later Elementary offers a well rounded education for students in 3rd-5th
grade in a caring, warm environment. Students are challenged to realize their
potential daily as our staff facilitates meaningful lessons linked to the
Michigan
Standards and Benchmarks. Our school has also been awarded a grant from the
Michigan Special Education Department entitled “Michigan Integrated Behavior
and Learning Support Initiative (MiBLSi). This exciting grant will allow our
staff
to use data to facilitate reading and behavior improvements.
In addition to rigorous instruction in the core subjects of mathematics,
language
arts, social studies, and science, students attend “specials” daily. These
specials
include art, physical education, music, library/technology, and cultural
studies.
Music instruction includes a classroom piano lab utilized by all students
throughout
the school year.
Each classroom is equipped with four to five computers in addition to our
school’s
two computer labs, allowing for increased opportunities to use technology at
Krause. Students may participate in Tiger Tracks, a walking program recognized
by the state of Michigan as an exemplary program for increased physical fitness.
Field trips take our students to Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village, the
Detroit
Science Center, the Troy Historical Museum and much more!
Parent participation is welcomed in the classroom or as part of our parent
group,
Tiger Cub Boosters (TCB). TCB meets the first Wednesday of every month at 9:00
in room 136 and offers incredible support to our school. Our teachers appreciate
any feedback from parents via conferences, phone calls, e-mails, or notes in the
student planner.
As you can see, Krause Later Elementary is a terrific place to be! Our goal is
to
provide the best education possible for every child and prepare children for the
challenges of middle school, high school, and beyond. If you have any questions
or
concerns, please do not hesitate to call or meet with me for clarification.
