We are so excited! Our Crane school board approved moving forward with a school farm. The land we purchased across from the school will not only house our sports complex, but will be the home to our school farm. This will give our ag students the opportunity to apply what they are learning in the classroom to real farming practices. If you are interested in helping support this endeavor, please contact Mrs. Shoenberger or Dr. Johnson.

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.

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.
