Chromebook or HCSD Account Issues?

 If you have an issue with your Chromebook or HCSD user account, go see Mr. Hager! He is available before school, 1st period, morning recess and lunch in the Makerspace!

DO NOT GO TO THE OFFICE!

Reminder: Being Kind on Devices

Good morning, Crocker,

Whether you are using a school device or a personal device, kindness and respect are always expected. How you communicate online matters, whether through texts, social media, group chats, games, or apps.

Even when something happens outside of school or on a personal device, the school may get involved if the behavior affects students at school. Unkind messages, rumors, photos/videos, or online conflicts don’t stay online; they can impact how people feel and act during the school day and affect our school community.

If you are dealing with something serious or upsetting on a personal device, do not handle it alone. Talk with a parent or guardian right away so they can help you make safe and responsible choices.

Remember:

• Think before you post or send.

• Treat others online the same way you want to be treated in person.

• If something feels wrong, get help.

Let’s work together to keep our school a safe, respectful, and supportive place—online and offline.

Thank you, Vikings,

Reminder: Blue Cart

Good morning, Crocker,

Please remember that the Blue Cart is now down by Portable 1 and is for parents or guardians to drop off lunch and other necessary school supplies during the day. If you are expecting something to be dropped off at school, please check the Blue Cart first before going to the office. Items left on the Blue Cart should be clearly labeled with your full name. Items of value, such as Chromebooks or expensive shoes, should be brought into the office, or you can put them in your locker for safekeeping. If you forgot your Chromebook, do not call home; check with Mr. Hager for a loaner in the Makerspace during period 1.

Please do not take anything from the Blue Cart that does not belong to you. We have cameras that can see what is happening all around campus. Remember, Fast Food is not allowed at school. The cart is put away each day at 3:20 PM. Items left on the cart will be put outside of Portable 1. If you have questions about a missing item, please check with the office staff.

Thank you,

Day Three Reminders

 Good morning,

I hope you enjoyed Camp Crocker!

Here are a few important reminders about arriving at school in the morning:

Breakfast: We no longer serve breakfast before school. You can pick up breakfast outside Portable 1 during morning recess. If it rains, you may eat under the eaves or in the Music Room.
Arrival Time: For your safety, please do not arrive on campus before 8:10 AM.
Lockers: Please wait until 8:20 AM before going upstairs to use your lockers. If you go upstairs too early, you will be asked to return to the courtyard.
Courtyard: Please keep the walkways clear so everyone can safely get through. Do not stand or gather in the walkways.
Cell Phones, Smartwatches, and Earbuds: These devices must be turned off and put away when you arrive at school. If you are seen using or carrying them, they will be turned in to the office for the day.

Thank you for helping us keep our school safe and welcoming for everyone!
