Boys & Girls Club Status: We have taken calls asking about the opening date for the Boys & Girls Club opening in Crane. We are anxiously waiting and told as soon as they hire enough Youth Development Professionals for the Crane location, they plan on opening! If you or someone you know is interested in working for BGC, please apply at the website found here. Starting pay is $13 per hour. If you have questions about what the job entails, please contact Patrick Stewart at pstewart@bgcozarks.org .

AMI Learning Days: Thank you for helping ensure your student(s) completed their AMI Packets for our first two AMI days! The Elementary had a great response on completion, with 96% of our students completing their work! Way to go! Remember, if your student did not complete his/her work, they will be counted absent for those days.

Upcoming Parents as Teachers Group Connection: Our January Group Connection will be on Thursday, January 27 at 2 PM at Crane Elementary in the Data Room. This month's connection is all about shapes! We hope you can come and meet our new Parent Educator, Mrs. Erica Lawson. This is for families with children aged birth to 5 years old who are not in kindergarten yet! You do not have to be signed up for PAT to attend!

Valentine's Day Parties: We will be having our Valentine's Day Parties on Friday, February 11. We had planned on having party day open to parents, but with the recent increase in illnesses, we have decided to keep these closed to visitors. I know this will make many of you sad, but when it comes down to it, I know we can all agree we want our students to bein school! Teachers will be sending information regarding parties via Class Dojo such as sign ups for party supplies, details on Valentine's Day boxes, and a list of students in each class. Please remember students should bring Valentine's for each student in their class if they are exchanging Valentine's cards.

Screenings for Preschool and New Kindergarten Students for Next School Year: We are now scheduling screenings for the upcoming school year for students who will be entering preschool and for students who will be entering kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year who were not enrolled in Crane Elementary's Preschool Program. Screening will take place on Friday, March 11. Please call the elementary office at 417-723-5300 ext. 1301, to schedule your child's screening.

Absences: If your child is going to be absent from school, regardless of reason, we need you to call the Elementary office to let us know. If you call before anyone is at school, please leave a voicemail letting us know your child's name and reason for absence. The office phone number is 417-723-5300 ext. 1301.

Honor Choir Practice: Honor Choir will have practice on Tuesday morning. Students should arrive at 7:25 AM and report to the music room.

Stuff the Staff Fridge Round 2: Many of you blessed our staff the first time around and many of you missed out and wanted to help a second time. Therefore, we are doing Round 2 of Stuff the Staff Fridge. The staff absolutely loved this gesture. If you are willing to help out, please sign up for a treat to bring in sometime this week! We appreciate everyone's help! The sign up can be found here.

Transportation Changes: We understand plans can change throughout the day. If transportation plans change for your child, please call the office to let Whitney know so she can ensure your child gets the message. Some parents have been messaging teachers on Dojo and there are days teachers do not see messages until after students have left for the day. We would hate to miss an important message! The Elementary office number is 417-723-5300 ext. 1301.
