Crane Elementary Families,
As we get ready to welcome our students back, here are a few important back-to-school reminders!
If your student will be picked up in the Elementary or Preschool pick-up line, please take a minute to watch this video and look over the visuals. The video walks through TWO different pick-up scenarios, so please be sure to watch all the way through to the end.

If you attended Open House, the transportation plan you provided to your child’s teacher will be used beginning the first day of school and will remain their regular transportation plan moving forward.

Welcome Back, Crane Elementary Students!
Athletic Complex Update:
We're excited to be in the final stretch of this project. The surface of the running track is complete, including the striking Pirate logo at the center! The remaining work includes pouring the concrete apron and sidewalks surrounding the track, as well as installing the perimeter fencing. Once these final projects are complete, we will announce a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate this outstanding addition to the Crane R-III School District.
Later this fall, we plan to break ground on the concession stand and restroom facility, continuing our vision for a first-class athletic complex.
Thank you for your patience and continued support throughout this project. We can't wait to welcome our students, athletes, and community to enjoy this incredible facility. Stay tuned for updates on the ribbon cutting and the official opening of the track for public use! (The track is not yet open for use!)
We need parents and community members who are willing to serve on an advisory committee to support our district’s continued growth and improvement. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please complete this form found at the following link: https://forms.gle/XTn36uVRUnf7AJE38
We are excited to announce Crane First Baptist Church will be purchasing a majority of school supplies for all PK-6th grade students for the 2026-2027 school year!
Families will have to provide their student with three items:
- backpack

- Kindergarten-3rd grade students: over-the-ear, headphones (must have cord to plug into Chromebook)

We are thankful for this HUGE blessing the 9th year in a row!
