School History
Our school was established in 1990 for the purpose of providing children in kindergarten through fifth grade with a quality education in a supportive learning environment. Our mission, at Crockett Elementary, as facilitators of learning, is to challenge students socially, emotionally, culturally, intellectually, and physically in order for them to become contributing citizens in an ever-changing society. We strive to educate children to master academic skills as well as to develop their potential, recognize their dignity and encourage positive self-esteem in order to promote responsible citizens. When our school initially reached its capacity, Edmondson Elementary School was split-off in 1995; Kenrose Elementary School grew from us in 1999; and Sunset Elementary School opened in August 2005 to once again handle the population growth of this area.

Site Based Management
Our school is site-managed and uses School Leadership, Correlate, and self-directed Design Teams to focus improvement efforts on student achievement under the auspices of the Superintendent and Williamson County Board of Education. There are representative from each grade level, Specials teachers, and classified staff on the Building Leadership Team.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parent/teacher conferences are scheduled by each grade level during each semester of the school year and additional times as individual conferences are needed. Ongoing parent-teacher communications is encouraged.

Parent Support Organization
Crockett Elementary has a very strong and dedicated PTO organization. A new group of officers brings lots of new ideas to Crockett this year. The Crockett PTO is very supportive of the school in numerous ways – especially helping to fund part of the Computer Lab assistant’s salary, providing additional computers to the classrooms, and offering numerous hours of volunteer work around the building. Many volunteers are at Crockett everyday to work with students and to help teachers. The PTO has a link on the school’s web site with lots of useful information.
