Crocker Bike Jam This Thursday

Good morning, Crocker,

Join us for a Bike Jam after school on the Crocker blacktop on Thursday, March 19th, at 2:45 PM.

Come hang out with Officers Cobar, McKenna, and Kim from Hillsborough PD. They will kick things off with a quick safety presentation along with equipment checks to make sure your ride is road-ready. Afterward, you can test your moves on the cone-patterned skills course. They will have plenty of swag to hand out during the event as well! You can ride your e-bike or regular bike. It'll be lots of fun!

Please RSVP here by March 17th.

Thanks, Vikings!

Buzz Reminder: Stay Home If Ill

Good morning, Crocker,

Sometimes when you do not feel well, it is difficult to decide whether or not to attend school. Here are some guidelines to follow when making that decision.

 A student should not be in school when he/she has:

• Overall, not feeling well
• Fever - A temperature of 99.5 degrees or above. If a child has had a fever, he/she may not return to school until she/he has been fever-free for 24 hours (without taking fever-reducing medication)
• Nausea or vomiting, or has vomited during the night
• Diarrhea
• Frequent coughing or sneezing
• Evidence of a communicable disease, such as a rash, fever, or unusual sores
• Sore throat
• Strep throat – must be on an antibiotic for 24 hours and be symptom-free
• Cold symptoms, such as cough, stuffy/runny nose, and sneezing
• Ear or eye irritation, including pink eye

It is important to stay at home if truly ill. We do not want to spread sickness to our classmates and staff.

Thank you for your cooperation, Vikings.

Buzz Reminder: Dance Expectations

Good morning Crocker,

Please review the expectations for the dance:

1. The dance is on Friday for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. These events are for Crocker students only.

2. Students in good standing and wishing to attend a school dance can purchase tickets before the dance at AM recess or at the entrance to the dance.
3. The dances are scheduled from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and held in the MPR.
4. Students must attend at least three periods of a school day to participate in a school dance. If a student does not attend school the day of the dance due to illness or leaves school early the day of the dance due to illness, the student cannot attend the dance that evening.
5. Once students enter, they are not allowed to leave until the dance officially ends at 8:00 PM. Please arrive on time; the doors close promptly 30 minutes after the dance begins.
6. The courtyard is available for students who want a break from the dark and/or loud music. The Student Store is open for purchasing a snack or drink for yourself. Do not bring too much money in case it gets lost.
7. Phones are allowed at the dance, but using the phone and taking pictures or videos is prohibited. Phones will be confiscated if they are used. Do not bring other electronic devices to the dance.
8. There is no chaperoned area to leave purses, backpacks, or other items, so students should leave valuables at home.
9. All students must arrange to be picked up in front of the MPR upon the conclusion of the dance by a parent/guardian. Students may not walk or ride home on their own, be picked up from a different location, or call a ridesharing service, such as Uber, Waymo, or Lyft.
