Crane Middle School

Update: We have a few classes that still need heat in them but the majority have them. We will relocate the space heaters in those classrooms to provide additional heat. We look to have the remaining units up and going today. Thank you for your patience.

MS Heat Update - 6 units were installed yesterday with 5 more units to be installed today. The rest are on back order but will be installed as soon as they arrive. Moving portable heaters from rooms with heat to rooms that need more heat.

The heating units are here. We have 11 of the 19 units are on site. The installation will begin immediately. We will send updates on this process. Please have patience and be mindful as the crews try to work around our kids.

Please be careful this morning. Classes start at 7:40. See you then.

Good Morning! Classes will resume at normal time. See you all at 7:40 AM. Thank you!

Additional Heating Update from Crane Middle School: The purchase and approval of installation of new units has been approved by our School Board. Our Maintenance Department is working with the contractors to have them installed as soon as possible.

Heat Update from Crane Middle School: We understand tomorrow is going to be cold. Please make sure your student comes to school in the proper attire. Each class has multiple portable space heaters at this time. Tomorrow morning we will be turning on the units before students arrive to have the classrooms ready. If any classroom becomes too cold, we will make arrangements as needed. We understand this situation is frustrating, but please understand all departments are working to fix the situation as quickly as possible.

Today our children are exposed to a world online that most of us did not experience in our childhood. Our kids have access to technology that their brains and maturity are often not ready to tackle. As parents, I know it is challenging to navigate this ever-changing world. This is where we ask for your help and hope to provide assistance. Please consider the following: -Please talk to your children about the consequences of posting inappropriate content or threats of violence online. Help them understand that there will be a significant disciplinary consequence and a lasting effect on their future. -Everything they post or share can become public even if it is only shared with one person. -Please monitor your child's online and social media behavior. Here are some resources that you may find helpful: Common Sense Media - https://www.commonsensemedia.org/social-media FTC - https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0006-talk-your-kids -Please remind your children that if they see something, they say something. Students, parents or staff members can report potential concerns to CMS Principal, Arick Heredia aheredia@craneisd.com or CMS School Counselor, Sarah Roark sroark@craneisd.com. We appreciate your support in this effort.

We just wanted to touch base with parents and students about the lack of heating at Crane Middle School. Maintenance is aware of the situation and is working to get our system fixed as quickly as possible. Until the issue is fixed, classrooms will be provided with space heaters to provide temporary heating. Please make sure students come dressed with this situation in mind. We look forward to a great 2nd semester of school!
