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 a new school, Sunset Elementary School, opened in the Fall of 2005.

 

Site Based Management
Our school is site-managed and uses Building Leadership Team composed of representative from each grade level, Specials teachers, classified staff, and PTO representative.

Before/After School Care
Brentwood Family YMCA Fun Company offers childcare services in the building starting at 7:00 am and after school until 6:00 PM. This stimulating program provides multiple activity and fun centers for its participants. For more information, contact Michelle Higgins at the Brentwood YMCA at 373-0215.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parents receive a progress reports during each nine weeks grading period with Report Cards issued at the end of the nine weeks. 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.

Special Programs
Crockett has several clubs and programs in which children can participate. They include: 4-H, DARE, Destination Imagination, BEAR Clubs (Be Enthusiastic About Reading), WCES News broadcasts, Student Safety Patrol, and Accelerated Reader.

Library/Media Center
Our library collection is over 10,000 items and serves a rapidly increasing student population of Kindergarten through fifth grade. Excellent and enthusiastic parent volunteers help our librarian and library assistant keep the many services to our students and teachers available. Some of our services include: scheduled and flex classes, storytelling for the primary grades, the semi-annual book fair, video taping class programs, ordering, processing, and cataloging materials to support the school curriculum, Internet access and connection to encyclopedias and other reference sites via the Internet, a closed circuit television system for broadcasting videos and live feed throughout the school, and the Accelerated Reader and Accelerated Math programs for all grades.

Guidance

The counselors work with individuals, small groups and entire classrooms serving the needs of all students. The counselors coordinates school activities pertaining to the school program such as DARE, Red Ribbon Week, Kindergarten “Boo Hoo Breakfast,” Pastries for Parents, etc.

Student Support Services
Currently, Crockett has three full time special education teachers and 8 full time teacher assistants.  Our Student Support Services team is a very strong and integral part of the educational program for children with special needs.  Initial screenings and observations are coordinated through our guidance counselors, and then referred to our psychologist if testing is deemed necessary.
