Download the School App!
We share a lot of information on social media and through the school app. You can download the app by clicking the linked button below. There is also a youtube video in the link with helpful information on navigating the app.
LET ME KNOW!
Throughout the year, if you ever have questions, comments, or concerns, reach out to me (Mrs. Mease), and I will do my best to help. Email is probably best as I check it quite often, but phone calls and in-person visits are always welcome as well! My email is measet@crane.k12.mo.us, and my office number is 417-723-5300 ext 904. Many people have my cell phone number, and I don't mind receiving texts or phone calls at that number, however, I'm not going to post it on social media! I am happy to serve our school and community.

Communication, Communication, Communication!
Open communication among teachers and parents is so important! If you are concerned about something with your student's grade(s), schoolwork, or classroom experience, please reach out to the teacher via Rooms, email or call the office to leave a message for them to call you back. All teachers' emails are the same (last name, first initial of the first name, followed by @crane.k12.mo.us). I hope teachers will communicate with you as well. If you don't know a teacher's email because you don't know their first name, I can help you! If you need help getting into Rooms via the school app, let me know!
