Our district is focusing on the GOLD Standard, with an emphasis on how we expect Pirates to conduct themselves, not just in our classrooms, but in all settings.
While we believe all of our coaches and athletes are already incredible examples of what it means to represent Crane well, there is something especially meaningful about hearing that praise come from an opposing team.
We received some wonderful feedback from Southwest regarding the way one of our players handled herself after a play, as well as the way our coach responded to the situation, with class, compassion, and leadership. Those are the moments that make us proud because they demonstrate that what we are teaching our students is showing up when it matters most.
A win is exciting, but character is the real victory.
Thank you to Maya Minton and our volleyball coaches, Coach Small and Coach Mitchell, for representing Crane and demonstrating the GOLD Standard in action. You are a wonderful example of what it means to be a Pirate!

Hey, Pirate Families! We are so proud of our students and the learning happening every day. We know you want the best for your kids, and so do we. We need your help in ensuring students get to school on time every day! This year, we are aiming for at least 90% of our students to be in attendance at least 90% of the time, and we can't do it without you! Help us make a difference by following these guidelines:
- If your child is truly sick (fever, vomiting, or very contagious symptoms), please keep them home. - If your child is healthy, please ensure they arrive to school on time, ready to learn, every single day. Plan fun days for Saturdays, Sundays or Mondays when school is not in session!
Consistent attendance builds strong habits for the future. Thank you for your support! 💜 #SchoolAttendance #CranePirates
