🚀 Big News! Ascend is Here – A New Way to Learn Without Limits! 🎉
We’re excited to introduce Ascend, Crocker R-II School District’s new full time online learning program for students in grades K–12.
Ascend is being developed to provide a flexible, tuition free public school option while maintaining the high expectations and personal relationships that make Crocker special.
At Ascend, students are more than just a name on a screen. We believe the best online learning experience begins with strong relationships. Our goal is to provide personalized support that helps every learner succeed.
💙 What will make Ascend different?
✅ Personalized learning tailored to each student’s needs and goals
✅ Missouri certified teachers providing engaging instruction and ongoing support
✅ Caring support from the Crocker R-II School District team
✅ A safe, accredited Missouri public school with no tuition or enrollment fees
✅ Flexible scheduling without sacrificing academic quality
✅ Students who complete graduation requirements will earn a Crocker High School diploma and have the opportunity to participate in Crocker High School’s graduation ceremony.
We’re currently building the program, completing the DESE approval process, and preparing for enrollment.
Current Crocker families who are interested in learning more are encouraged to reach out. Mrs. Cotrel will begin reviewing transcripts in August to help determine if Ascend is a good fit for each student’s graduation plan.
Your Future. Your Choice. Your Journey.
Together, We Ascend. 💙

Summer learning is in full swing at Crocker! ☀️📚
Over the last few weeks, our elementary teachers, and this week our middle school and high school teachers, have been participating in Curriculum Camp. They have spent time collaborating, reviewing curriculum, sharing ideas, and planning engaging learning experiences for the upcoming school year.
We appreciate our teachers for investing part of their summer to grow professionally and prepare for another great year. Your dedication makes a difference for our students every day. 💙🦁
