January 2020 

Updates from the desk of Superintendent, Laurie Doering
Happy New Year and welcome back to school to all of our students, families and staff. I hope you had a restorative and memorable holiday break with your loved ones. Your principal and myself included are so EXCITED to welcome each of you back - we've missed your smiling faces. I wish for all of our students a fulfilling, creative and innovative 2020 with out-of-this-world experiences for all to enjoy. 

Cheers to collaborative and thought-provoking learning for 2020! 

~ Mrs. Laurie Doering, Superintendent 

 

At Crane Elementary School District, it is our mission in growing a community of curious change-makers through innovative problem-solving while actively responding to the developing needs of our families and communities. In doing so, we stay steadfast in meeting the needs of our families through access to high quality education and support-services. Crane School District, with the support and added direction from a diverse, community-driven transportation committee have come together to propose the 2020/2021 school year rezoning proposal. 

The rezoning proposal would reconfigure the existing transportation zones and attendance boundaries of the following schools H.L. Suverkrup Elementary, Mesquite Elementary, Salida del Sol Elementary and Valley Horizon Elementary.  


For more details about the rezoning meeting on Tuesday, January 28th, please click the link here for further details: http://www.craneschools.org/protected/ArticleView.aspx?iid=6GA3Y2I&dasi=30I0.
