Jr High & HS September Newsletter

Way to start off the year strong, Ellie and A.J.!

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.

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.

8th graders and seniors will need to get their required immunizations before Monday, September 15, 2026 or they will not be able to come to school. UPDATE: The Cox Mobile Unit will be at the school on Monday, September 15th to give vaccinations to any student who needs updated ones. Students in kindergarten, 8th, and 12th grade all require new immunizations for school. If you would like a form sent home with your child, or if you are unsure if your child needs immunizations, please call the school nurse at 417-723-5300, ext 128.

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!
