Color printer is out of ink

The color printer in the library is out of ink. Please print at home until the new ink comes in.

Please be mindful of your printing. We have lots of unclaimed papers. Double check your settings to avoid reprinting due to errors. Send black and white prints to the B&W printer, not the color printer. Ask for help if you need it.

Reminder: Lock Bikes, Scooters, & Helmets

Good morning, Crocker, 

Please lock up your bike or scooter to the bike racks by the gym. Make sure to lock your helmet to the bike or scooter as well. Remember, it is illegal for a minor to ride without a helmet. We have more bike parking to the north of the gym; it looks great!

Also, remember to walk your bikes on campus until you are on the path or the street. Please watch for cars backing out, as they cannot see you. 

Ride safely, Vikings!

Reminder: Acceptable Use of Technology

Good morning, Crocker,

Crocker Middle School is dedicated to helping our students make respectful, responsible, and safe decisions online, both at school and at home. Students should always think carefully before posting or playing games.

"Acceptable use" means using technology resources appropriately and following the rules outlined in the HCSD Acceptable Use Agreement (AUA), which you and your parents have reviewed and signed before receiving your Chromebooks. Remember, playing video games at school is prohibited. Additionally, HCSD monitors all searches and Google apps (such as email, Docs, and Sheets) through GoGuardian.

Repeated misuse of your Chromebook will lead to the following consequences:

• 1st offense: A staff member will issue a warning. They may also take the Chromebook away for the rest of the period or the remainder of recess. An administrator will be notified.
• 2nd offense: You will need to turn in your Chromebook to Mr. Hager at the end of the day, meet with an administrator, and you will not have access to your Chromebook until the next morning. You will need to use an alternate device for online homework.
• 3rd+ offense: You will need to turn in your Chromebook to Mr. Hager each day for a week, which may include weekends. You will also use an alternate device for online homework.
• For serious offenses, you will be sent to an administrator, your parents will be contacted, and more severe consequences may be applied based on the situation.

By following the Acceptable Use of Technology Policy, you can use your Chromebook as intended.

Thank you for using your Chromebook responsibly,

Lisa Ayer Crocker Middle School Assistant Principal she/her

Reminder: Sharing the Courts with North

Good morning, Crocker,

Please remember that on minimum days (Thursdays and conference days), North School and Crocker have the same recess and lunchtime. North and Crocker have worked out a fair way to share the space. North school students will have priority to use the three basketball hoops and volleyball court by the North portables during morning recess. Crocker will have priority to use those courts during lunch recess. Please be a good neighbor by letting the elementary students play on the courts in the morning. 

Thanks, Vikings!
