Jr. Highs boys and girls basketball shirt order forms were sent home with all elementary students. Orders and money are due September 1st!
Tomorrow the Cox Mobile will be at school for students needing vaccines. Please don’t forget to send in the consent form if your child is receiving any vaccinations.
If you have children in Boys & Girls Club, unless you notify the elementary office prior to 2:30pm that your child is not attending Boys & Girls Club your child will go to Boys & Girls Club. Telling Boys & Girls Club is NOT notifying the elementary office.
Don't forget to get your Springfield Cardinals tickets for Crane Community Night at the ballpark on Wednesday, September 7th at 6:30 pm. Tickets are only $10 and can be paid for and picked up in either the Elementary or High School offices. Bryan Harmon will be throwing out the first pitch, and the high school choir will be singing the National Anthem.
Crane R-III is so thankful for all the support from businesses and the community. We especially want to thank Stockman's Bank, George & Cathy Cutbirth and Bank of Billings for providing lunch for our staff work days, Table Rock Bank for providing dinner during Open House, and Hammens Insurance for the donuts on our first day of school. Thank you for your support!
Crane R-III needs your help! To complete the track for our students and community we need qualified companies to bid on the work needing done. If you are interested, please contact Jason Becker at jbecker@veregy.com
For 7th - 12th grade students' parents: at the end of the day if you pick your child up, you will need to do so in the gravel parking lot at the East end of the Jr High/High School hallway. If you have an elementary age child who has a sibling in 7-12, they may join their older sibling(s) to be picked up there as well if you would like.
Welcome Back! We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! For all our new families, you can find need-to-know information in the weekly "Pirate Gram" . We will post the link to Class Dojo and to the website/app and Crane Facebook Page.
The Pirate Gram for the Week of August 23, 2022.

Our juniors and seniors who attend VoTech will be starting at Gibson Tech in Reeds Spring tomorrow as well! VoTech students, please park in the high school parking lot and load the bus at 7:50 a.m. to be able to leave by 7:55. Don't be late!
New PK-6th grade parents, in order to ensure our students are released to people authorized by the parent/guardian, we will check IDs on anyone who is picking a student up from school which we don’t know yet! Please have your photo ID out ready to show in the carline. Anyone listed as a parent, guardian, or emergency contact are the only ones we will release students to unless prior arrangements have been made. Keep in mind, we have new staff so please don’t be offended if someone asks to see your ID. It is for the safety of your child! Once we get to know you, we won’t ask to see your ID anymore.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience in this manner!
Parents,
Bus routes have not changed this year, so times should be very similar to last year's times. If you have questions about your child's bus route or time of pick up, please call Les Essary at 417-723-5300 ext.909.
