Ready, Set, Sail, Pirates! 🏴☠️
Over the past two weeks our teachers and staff have been busy getting ready to welcome our Pirates back to school!
From welcoming our new staff members and diving into professional development to completing Stop the Bleed and Active Shooter Training, our team has been learning, preparing, and strengthening our skills to make sure we are ready for the year ahead.
Of course, we had to mix in a little fun, too! Our staff took on a Pirate Escape Room challenge, proving that teamwork, problem-solving, and a little friendly competition are always a good combination!
We are also incredibly grateful for the support of our community! Local churches and banks helped keep our staff fueled with delicious lunches throughout our training days. Your generosity and continued support mean so much to our Crane R-III family!
We are SO ready to welcome our kids back on this Tuesday!
Let’s have a great year, Pirates!

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.
If your child’s transportation plan has changed from what you provided at Open House, please call the Elementary Office at 417-723-5300 ext. 902 to update it.

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!)
