Reminder: Halloween Dress Code

Good morning, Crocker,

To show Crocker and Halloween spirit, students are allowed to wear costumes to school on Thursday, October 31st only. School rules regarding the Dress Code must be followed. Please consider the dress code when planning your Halloween costume.

The following applies equally to students of any gender:

• Clothing must allow students a full range of motion — sitting, bending, reaching, and running — without requiring frequent readjustment or exposing undergarments or private parts.
• Clothing with disruptive or unhealthy logos or words, including offensive language, pictures, or references to alcohol, smoking, or other drugs is prohibited.
• Clothing with political messages/slogans should be avoided as they may be controversial.
• For health and safety reasons, shoes must be worn at all times.  
• Hats & hoods may be worn as part of the costume, but masks are not allowed.
• ALL costume preparations are to be completed at home. (No dressing or applying of make-up or colored hairspray once students arrive at school).
• No real or fake weapons (nunchucks/sickles/swords/bats/knives/guns, etc.) are allowed on campus. If brought to school, they will be confiscated.
• No bikes, skateboards, scooters, toy vehicles, etc. allowed even if part of the costume.

Students wearing inappropriate costumes will be asked to change and must comply immediately by changing into their PE clothes. Students or parents who have questions about the acceptability of their costumes should check with the assistant principal before wearing the costumes to school.

Thank you, Vikings,

Lisa Ayer Crocker Middle School Assistant Principal she/her

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!
