Congratulations to our Jr High and High School Students of the Month for February, Whitney Gold and Katie Cox! About Whitney, her teachers shared: Whitney is an all-around great student! She is positive and always has a smile on her face. She is kind to others. She is also a hard worker and is on-task during class. About Katie, her teachers shared: Katie is a vital part of the Junior class. She consistently helps with Prom fundraising, and I never have to worry about competency and friendliness with her in the concession stand. She has matured remarkably since her Freshman year and is now maintaining above average grades in Government. She's organized, turns all her assignments in on time, and perseveres when something is difficult for her to do. Katie is a breath of fresh air, and I love being around her.
Thank you both for representing Crane so well!
Pirate Parents!
Group Picture Day for our Junior High and High School organizations is this upcoming Wednesday, March 5th. Please help your students remember to pack their uniforms and/or club shirts for their scheduled Group Pictures. You gain free, digital access to all of our pictures with your purchase of a 2024-2025 yearbook, so be sure to place your order for a yearbook by June! https://shop.yearbookmarket.com/craneelementaryandhighschool
Yearbook will also take portraits of any new enrollment students (or students that were absent on fall Picture Day / Retake Day) this Wednesday in an effort to make sure we have a portrait for the 2025 yearbook. If your student did not have a portrait taken in the fall, please feel free to email Ms. Knight (Knighta@crane.k12.mo.us) for additional information. Elementary, JH, and HS students may dress as they like for these yearbook portraits; however, please remember we are student-staffed organization, so these will not be of the same quality as those taken by the professionals with Wagner, nor can we provide printing at this time. If students have not had a school portrait taken (by the yearbook or by Wagner) after this Wednesday, we cannot guarantee their picture will appear in the yearbook.
Seniors and parents of seniors, please see the attached photo about the Senior Meeting and free senior photos from 11:45 am - 12:30pm this Wednesday. Seniors must attend the short meeting to vote on Senior Superlatives / Senior Favorites, submit their Senior Quotes, and receive updated deadlines and details for the Graduation Slideshow. Seniors who do not attend the meeting may miss important information and opportunities to be featured in the yearbook one final time. Meeting will occur in the HS gym and seniors should bring their Chromebooks.
The school calendar for next year has been approved. You can always find the calendar on our Crane R-III App under "Documents"-> "District"->"2025-2026 Crane R-III Academic Calendar" or you can find a printable version of the calendar at the link provided below.

Remember that we have school tomorrow for a snow make-up day! Hope you had a good weekend!
Last minute Prom dues will be accepted by Dr. East until Thursday, 3/6. Seniors who didn't pay last year and Juniors who haven't yet paid owe $50. Don't forget to pay for a guest if you are bringing one ($20). Guest approval forms need to be given to your guest to be completed by their own school principal or boss at their job if they are not a student somewhere. Those forms need to be returned to Mrs. Mease ASAP. See Dr. East or the main office for this form. See you at the "Gala in Giza"!
Thank you to one of our students for bringing to my attention that Reeds Spring does not have school on Monday, so there will be no VoTech at TRCC! VoTech students need to be at school at 11:40 on Monday, March 3rd.
