Home of the Golden Cranes
CISD Parents & Community,
As we approach winter weather season, we want to remind everyone how potential school closures would be communicated if needed:
5am - District Leadership will evaluate road conditions to determine if school closure or late start* is needed.
6am - If closure or late start* is needed, school communication would begin including social media posts, updates on www.craneisd.com , text messages, and phone callouts to parents and staff.
Throughout the school day - School Leadership would communicate any changes to after-school activities.
*A late start would result in school starting at 10am with morning buses running two hours later than their regular schedule.
For late start schedules, please reference campus bell schedules: www.craneisd.com/bellschedules
🎉 Congratulations to all of our CMS UIL students on a great year!

Crane ISD will perform a lockdown drill at all campuses this morning at 9:30am. These drills are required by the state and are an opportunity for schools to practice potential emergency procedures.
📣 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Good luck to our students competing on Friday!
This morning, a Crane ISD staff member inadvertently put all campuses into a momentary lockdown. This was an accident, and there was no emergency. The lockdown lasted approximately two minutes, and then campuses continued operating as usual.
