Student Absences: If your child is absent from school for any reason, please call the office to let us know. The phone number is 417-723-5300 ext. 902.

Breakfast: If your child is a parent drop off each morning and wants to eat breakfast at school, he/she needs to be dropped off no later than 7:40 AM. We have had a few come after 7:45 and they do not have time to get to breakfast before being counted tardy for class.

Celebration!: Our students met the Building-Wide Wildly Important Goal for August! We had 96.1% of our students arrive on time and ready to learn for the last six days in August! Thank you, parents for help in getting students to school on time!

iReady Testing: Students will begin iReady Diagnostic Testing this week. It is important that your child arrives to school on time for testing!

Still Important...

CSCO Meeting: The first CSCO Meeting for the school year will be held on Tuesday, September 13 at 6 PM. Meetings are always the second Tuesday of the month, but will alternate from 6 PM to 7 PM start times so those of you who can't make 6 PM work, might be able to attend at 7 PM! We would love to have your help in planning fun activities for our students!

New Tardy Policy and Wildly Important Goal: This year we want to emphasize the importance of students arriving to school on time! Therefore, we will be monitoring tardies and late arrivals. If your child receives two or more tardies in a two week time span, you will receive a call from our Assistant Principal, Mr. Mullins. If your child has four tardies in a two week timespan, your child will have to attend after school detention and/or miss recess to make up for lost learning time. You will be notified if this occurs. We believe that establishing good habits of arriving to school on time is an essential skill students need to be successful in life. We are making our Schoolwide Wildly Important Goal (WIG) reflect this belief. Our WIG is "90% of Crane Pirates will arrive to school on time and ready to learn each day." We will be measuring this monthly. We know we can increase our attendance rate, simply by focusing on getting students to school on time!
