About Us
|
We believe that the
best way to predict the future is to create it.
 |
Crockett’s Mission is
focused on creating an outstanding learning environment through
instruction in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, fine
arts, the use of technology, and parental education in order to produce
students who can learn to make the right choices. |
Grades 1 through 5
students are enrolled at the Crockett Elementary School Campus located
in Crockett St. while the Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Head Start
programs are served at the nearby Early Childhood Center Campus located
at Houston Avenue.
FINE ARTS PROGRAM
Crockett is gifted with an outstanding Fine Arts Program.
|
Crockett believes that
through music, rhythmic dancing, ballet and visual art, students can
develop a positive self-concept that translates into classroom
success in reading, math and the other content areas. |
 |
 |
The program provides
opportunities for all students to learn to play the flute, violin
(Classic and Mariachi), piano, cello, percussion and bells.
Musicians from the renowned Houston Symphony have mentored Crockett
students on a regular basis. Crockett Elementary students’ musical
abilities are well known throughout the HISD area because they have
performed at many social and civic functions.
Students are taught how to play musical instruments
starting at age three. |
There is a choir for
children interested in singing. Dance classes for all grades are
conducted regularly. Students participating in the Visual Art program
have won several contests at the National and Regional Levels.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
|
The vibrant Cooperative
for After-School Enrichment (CASE) program provides supervised after
school care for the students. The students are expected to complete
their homework and attend academic enrichment activities under qualified
staff and then participate in various fun, sport, robotics, computer,
dance, music, art, recreational and other enrichment activities. The
program at the Early Childhood Campus is operated by the YMCA. |
|
OTHER PROGRAMS
 |
These
include Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Strengthening Families (parenting
skills and development of a greater sense of "community" between school
