Get to Know Crane

Welcome to Crane Elementary School! Below are frequently asked questions designed to help you learn more about our school. Please feel free to call the main office at 359-5400 for additional information. We're happy to help!

Q. Where can I drop off my child and what is the procedure?
A. Students can be dropped off at the parking lot door.  All cars will follow the lane around the outside of the parking lot.  Please remain in your car and have your child on the passenger side of your vehicle. This will make it easier and safer for your child to get out. A staff member will be on the sidewalk to greet your children. Students should not arrive at school before 7:35 am as no one is available to supervise children before that time. Students that arrive late to school must be accompanied by an adult to sign them in at the main office.

Q. When does the school day begin?
A: Doors open and the first bell rings at 7:35 a.m. The second bell rings at 7:45 a.m. Students arriving after 7:45 a.m. are considered tardy.

Q. Where can I pick my child up after school and what is the procedure?
A. All families who will be picking up their child at the end of the day are asked to come between 1:50 to 2 p.m. Please keep to the outside lane of the parking lot and remain in your car at all times. For daily pick-up students, you will be given a permanent pick-up sign on the first day of school. Staff will ask for you to hold up your permanent pick-up sign and they will bring your student to your car. If your child is not on the “permanent pick-up list” let us know your child’s name and have your ID ready.  A staff member will locate your child and walk them to your car.  If we are not familiar with who is picking up a student, we will ask for ID and check that they are on the approved pick-up list.

Q. How do I register my child for before and after school care at Crane?
A. The district's fee-based childcare program, the Cub Care Zone, provides before and after school care for Rush-Henrietta students in grades K-6 at the school they attend. Please go to www.rhnet.org/cubcare for information, or call the Cub Care Office at 359-7911.
