3 year old preschool update!
Crane R-III did receive a grant to fund one section of a three year old preschool program for this school year! Enrollment for this class will be limited therefore eligible students will have to live within the district and turn three before August 1, 2024. Due to overwhelming response, there will be a waitlist for this class as well as attendance requirements. At this time enrollment is full with an active waitlist. We are excited to have this opportunity this year!
