Fire/Evacuation Drill Today

Good morning, Crocker,

We have a fire/evacuation drill today during 5th period at 2:10 PM. Please remember the following expectations during drills. Teachers, you can review more detailed procedures if needed.

1) Remain calm and quiet during an emergency and drill -- this way you and others can hear instructions and remain out of harm's way.
2) Listen to your teachers/adults.
3) Walk quietly in a single file line to the blacktop.
4) Once on the blacktop, line up by 1st period, alphabetically.
5) Remain quiet once on the blacktop.
6) Once dismissed, walk back to your 5th-period class quickly and quietly.

If we all follow these guidelines, we will have a successful drill today. If it rains, we will reschedule the fire/evacuation drill.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,

Lisa Ayer Crocker Middle School Assistant Principal she/her

Buzz Reminder: Recess Expectations & Locations

Good morning, Crocker,

Due to the staff appreciation luncheon today in the library, students will have an extra five minutes for lunch and lunch recess.

Here are some reminders for recess, lunch, and lunch recess:
1. There are no backpacks allowed on the blacktop during AM or lunch recesses. Also, do not eat or bring food, candy, or drinks onto the blacktop.
2. All games are open, and we follow HREC basketball rules; no streetball is allowed. Do not make up your own rules for handball and Foursquare. 

3. Tag or chasing games are not allowed. 

4. You cannot save a court if you do not have a ball. Get the ball first and then find a court. This goes for ALL blacktop games.
5. Check out and in sports equipment from the blue Sports Hut. Take care of it, so we have enough for everyone. Do not kick the sports equipment, as someone could get hurt. If you do, you will be asked to leave the blacktop.
6. You may use your locker during the first five minutes of recess and lunch, and then go downstairs.
7. Use the MPR restrooms during recess and lunch. Remember, hanging out in the upstairs corridors and restrooms is not allowed.
8. Just before lunch recess begins, you must wait behind the yellow line on the blacktop until 1:02 pm on regular days before lining up in front of the Sports Hut to check out sports equipment. If you try to hide in the corridor by the stairs, you will go to the back of the line.

Recently, we’ve learned that some students are taking food from other students’ lunch bags. This is considered stealing and is a serious offense. Everyone has the right to feel that their belongings are safe at school. If you are found taking someone else’s food or any personal items, you will be referred to an administrator, your parents or guardians will be contacted, and you will receive a consequence, which may include detention or suspension.
Please make responsible choices and respect one another’s property.

Locations to go to at break times today, May 1st:
Morning Recess - Library, MPR, Blacktop, Upper Lawn, & Courtyards
Lunch - Oasis, MPR tables, Upper Lawn, Courtyards, Lower Lawn (8th)
Lunch Recess - Library, Oasis (lecture hall), Blacktop, Upper Lawn, & Courtyards

Thank you for your cooperation, Vikings,
