Buzz Reminder: Your Words Matter

Good morning, Crocker,

At Crocker, we want everyone to feel welcome and accepted. That's why it's important to be kind with our words and actions. Put-downs, teasing, spreading rumors, mocking, or shaming others can really hurt. We do not make fun of others' backgrounds or heritages. It makes people feel like they don't belong. You don't have to be best friends with everyone, but treating others with respect helps everyone feel safe and included.

Let's make Crocker a place where kindness leads the way!

Thanks, Vikings!

Buzz Reminder: Breakfast & Lunch

Good morning, Crocker,

• Students can pick up breakfast before school, from 8:00 to 8:25, or at morning recess, and lunch at the beginning of lunch.
• During rush hour, students should only take ONE meal.
• Students are not allowed to take a meal for a friend; the friend should come through the line and get their own.
• Students should pick up fruit/veggies, milk, and an entrée, and they give their cards to the adult with a basket. 
• If students want an extra meal, we usually have enough and can serve them after everyone has been served first (check back after 8-10 minutes).
• When students come for seconds, the volunteers will ask if they have given their cards already. We need every card to be reimbursed!
• When students do not pick up the meals, it becomes food waste and goes to the landfill.
• Lastly, students must clean up their trash before they go to recess. Students should remind their friends too. Please respect our beautiful campus and our hardworking custodial staff. 

Thank you,

Lisa Ayer Crocker Middle School Assistant Principal she/her

Buzz Reminder: Dance Expectations

Good morning, Crocker,

1. The dance is on Friday, December 5, and is for 7th and 8th graders. These events are for Crocker students only.
2. Students in good standing and wishing to attend a school dance can purchase tickets before the dance at AM recess or at the entrance to the dance.
3. The dances are scheduled from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and held in the MPR.
4. Students must attend at least three periods of a school day to participate in a school dance. If a student does not attend school the day of the dance due to illness or leaves school early the day of the dance due to illness, the student cannot attend the dance that evening.
5. Once students enter, they are not allowed to leave until the dance officially ends at 8:00 PM. Please arrive on time; the doors close promptly 30 minutes after the dance begins.
6. The courtyard is available for students who want a break from the dark and/or loud music. The Student Store is open for purchasing a snack or drink for yourself. Do not bring too much money in case it gets lost.
7. Phones are allowed at the dance, but using the phone and taking pictures or videos is prohibited. Phones will be confiscated if they are used. Do not bring other electronic devices to the dance.
8. There is no chaperoned area to leave purses, backpacks, or other items, so students should leave valuables at home.
