Reminder: Halloween Dress Code

Good morning, Crocker,

To show Crocker and Halloween spirit, students are allowed to wear costumes to school on Friday, October 30th, only. School rules regarding the Dress Code must be followed.

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 or other drugs, is prohibited. 

• Avoid clothing with political figures, messages, sensitive topics, or slogans that may provoke conflict among peers.

• 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/tools, etc.) are allowed on campus. If brought to school, they will be confiscated.

• No bikes, skateboards, scooters, toy vehicles, etc. are 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 email Mrs. Ayer before wearing the costumes to school.

Thank you for your cooperation, Vikings,

Reminder: Delivered Items

Good morning,

Please remember our rules regarding delivered articles to school:

Articles delivered to the office by parents are to be picked up by students between classes or at lunchtime. Deliveries should be placed on the blue cart outside the secondary office (P1). The office is not responsible for ensuring delivery or for missing items. The goal is to minimize class interruptions. Musical instruments should be delivered to the Band Room, not the Office. Due to ongoing construction, parents/guardians may temporarily park along the perimeter of the blacktop and walk to the office to deliver an item, or park in front of the portables to place the item on the blue cart. 

Breakfast and lunch are provided free of charge to all students. Food delivery services, like DoorDash or Grubhub, are not allowed on campus. Fast food is also not allowed, as it is unhealthy and creates problems on campus. For safety, please do not send your students to school with hot beverages.

Thank you, Vikings,
