Wagner Portrait Group will be at school on October 29th (from 9am to 12pm) to photograph any students who were absent on the original Picture Day, any students who are new to the district, and any students who would like retakes.
If your student is having a retake, please return the entire portrait package (including the insert sheet) to the photographer on retake day. Feel free to attach a note describing what you’d like done differently.
Elementary parents, please let Ms. Knight know via email (knighta@crane.k12.mo.us) if you would like a retake for your student. Yearbook staff will be bringing our Elementary students who were absent over to the camera, and we want to make sure we know about retakes when we pull students from class for pictures. This will keep the day moving with as few interruptions to normal classes as possible, and your assistance in this is greatly appreciated!
As always, please note that the order passwords are different for elementary and junior high / high school.
Mrs. Moore’s 1st grade students were hard at work strengthening their phonemic awareness skills through Heggerty! These daily activities help students build a strong foundation in reading by practicing how to hear, identify, and manipulate sounds in words. These foundational skills are an important part of developing confident, successful readers!

Our district is focusing on the GOLD Standard, with an emphasis on how we expect Pirates to conduct themselves, not just in our classrooms, but in all settings.
While we believe all of our coaches and athletes are already incredible examples of what it means to represent Crane well, there is something especially meaningful about hearing that praise come from an opposing team.
We received some wonderful feedback from Southwest regarding the way one of our players handled herself after a play, as well as the way our coach responded to the situation, with class, compassion, and leadership. Those are the moments that make us proud because they demonstrate that what we are teaching our students is showing up when it matters most.
A win is exciting, but character is the real victory.
Thank you to Maya Minton and our volleyball coaches, Coach Small and Coach Mitchell, for representing Crane and demonstrating the GOLD Standard in action. You are a wonderful example of what it means to be a Pirate!
