Reminder: Sports Equipment

Good morning, Crocker,

We have plenty of sports equipment for all blacktop games. Due to some unfair practices, students can no longer bring sports equipment from home; this includes table tennis paddles. Sports equipment from home will be confiscated. Remember to line up, wait your turn to check out equipment, and all games are open. The the end of recess, return the sports equipment to the Sports Hut. We are losing volleyballs, basketballs, and footballs due to students not returning them at the end of morning and lunch recess. 

There is no kicking of the sports equipment. If you are seen kicking the ball, you will be asked to leave the blacktop. If the behavior continues, you will earn a consequence. 

For your safety and the safety of others, please follow the rules and use the sports equipment correctly.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Lisa Ayer Crocker Middle School Assistant Principal she/her

Reminder: Office Phone & Signing Out

Hello, Crocker,

If you are feeling ill at school please come to the office to call home. Please don't go into the restroom and use your cell phone. We want all students to stay safe, and the office staff needs to know if you are ill. 

Use the office phone if you need to call home. However, if you forgot your Chromebook, you can borrow one from Mr. Hager in the MakerSpace. Additionally, lunch is provided to everyone for free every day in the MPR. When possible, use recess times to call home, so you don't miss a lesson.

If you leave campus early, you must be signed out in the office by a parent, guardian, or designated adult. 

Thank you for your cooperation, Vikings,

Lisa Ayer Crocker Middle School Assistant Principal she/her
