Welcome to Crocker 2025-26!

Good morning, Vikings!

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! The staff has been busy preparing for Camp Crocker. We have a few reminders for you for the start of school:

1) Drop off is on the Crocker blacktop between 8:10 and 8:25. Do not have your parent drop you off anywhere else on campus, as it is unsafe and backs up traffic.
2) If you are eating breakfast at school, you may arrive at 8:00 AM.
3) No lunch is served on Tuesday, September 2nd. Lunch will be served on Wednesday.
4) Please show your Crocker spirit and wear your Viking gear or blue and gold on Wednesday; it is also a regular 3:20 PM dismissal. We will follow an Adjusted Connect schedule.
5) The Bicycle Safety presentation by HPD will be today in the Lecture Hall from 12:15 to 12:45.
6) If you are being picked up from campus, you must be picked up on the blacktop. Students can not wait at the MPR to be picked up until after 3:35 PM.

Have an AMAZING 1st day at Camp Crocker, where we want you to Be Here, Be YOU, and Belong!

Reminder: Yearbook Signing Guidelines - Wed. 8th, Thurs. 6th/7th

Good morning, Crocker,

This Wednesday through Friday, you should bring a small backpack to school to keep your yearbook, awards certificates, snack/lunch, water bottle, etc. 

Please review the yearbook signing rules. Remember to keep it kind. If you ruin a student's yearbook by writing unkind or inappropriate comments, you will be purchasing a new yearbook for the person.

Reimnder: Hallway Behavior

Good morning, Crocker,

Please remember to walk in the halls, use appropriate language, and keep your backpacks in the white-lined areas or on the benches in the hallways. We need space for students and staff to pass each other safely.  Do not chase, push, or shoulder-check other people anywhere on campus before, during, or after school. We do not want people injured due to careless or aggressive behavior. Students will be referred to an administrator for not following the rules.

Thank you, Vikings,

Library News

The library will be closed at morning recess this morning due to a staff event. You can return books through the outside drop box, or come in at lunch recess.

Please get your library books in. If you have lost or damaged books, you need to pay for those before you will receive your yearbook. 

Lastly, please be mindful when printing today that we have a guest speaker in the library. Please come in quietly and wait patiently. The printer is very slow, especially when printing full color pages. Do not reprint without asking for help first.
