Buzz Reminder: Sports Equipment

Good morning,

We have plenty of sports equipment for all blacktop games. Due to some unfair practices, we can no longer allow students to bring sports equipment from home. Sports equipment from home will be confiscated. Remember to line up and wait your turn to check out equipment. All games are open.

Please don't forget to return the sports equipment to the Sports Hut at the end of recess. We are losing volleyballs, basketballs, and footballs due to students not returning them at the end of morning and lunch recess.

Hacky Sack is allowed for now, as long as it is played correctly. If not, the ball will be confiscated and put in the office.  

Lastly, if caught kicking a ball or participating in unfair practices, you will be asked to leave the blacktop. There are a lot of games on the blacktop, and your safety is our priority.

Thank you,

Lisa Ayer Crocker Middle School Assistant Principal she/her

Reminder: Gum & Candy

Good morning,

1. Chewing gum is not allowed at school.  Its use disrupts instruction, poses a health hazard, and improper disposal creates serious custodial and health problems. Continued chewing gum on campus may result in a referral for beautification or detention.

2. A small amount of candy, a couple of pieces for yourself, can be enjoyed at recess or lunchtime, but not during class. Wrappers must be thrown away in the garbage. Lollipops are not allowed to be eaten on campus.

3. Candy is not to be widely distributed or sold to classmates. If large amounts of candy are shared outside of class, it will be confiscated, and the student may receive a referral to the office.

4. Finally, food, including gum and candy, is not allowed on the blacktop or field, especially lollipops and gum. They are a choking hazard. Eat your food at the tables before going to play on the blacktop.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Buzz Reminder: Crosswalks

Good morning,

For your safety, please use the crosswalks on Eucalyptus or Ralston when crossing the street near the school. Riders must walk bikes and scooters. Jaywalking is unsafe, as drivers don’t expect you to cross in the middle of the road. Also, do not look down at your phone when crossing the street or using crosswalks. You need to look both ways and be alert to oncoming cars. Lastly, do not get dropped off at Chateau; there is too much traffic.

The crossing guards are there to keep you safe, so please be respectful.
