Superintendent's Message
Welcome to the Crab Orchard School District web pages. There is much information about our school district and what we offer included in these pages. You are invited to browse our web pages and to provide feedback to us with your comments and ideas on ways to improve our efforts at electronic communication. If you don’t see what you’re looking for or have unanswered questions, please give us a call at the Unit Office (982-2181 ext. 2) or email me at derek.hutchins@cocusd3.com. I look forward to and welcome your comments.
Here at Crab Orchard, we place a strong emphasis on best practices and data-driven decision-making. Through prudent and sound fiscal management, the Board of Education has provided the necessary resources to support a strong educational system.
One example is our transition this school year to TeacherEase, a data-driven student management program that integrates Common Core standards, parent participation, and ease of access for all. The parent portal is now open to all parents who sign up with an e-mail address for access to check student grades, pay lunch bills, or just view menus.
I look forward to a great school year and hope that you and your family feel at home here at Crab Orchard.
