5th Grade Concert

 It is coming to the end of the year and we have some concerts coming up. The current fifth grade classes across the district have been working hard on their music and they are going to perform that music for you. They're coming to Crocker on Monday the 20th for some rehearsals and the concert is going to be on Wednesday April 29th in the evening in the gym. Come on down to support those awesome fifth grade musicians who will be coming up to Crocker next year and adding to our great Crocker Band program here.

Staff Appreciation

 Friday May 1st is the staff appreciation luncheon and the following week will be staff appreciation week. Your teachers, administrators and all staff members at Crocker have worked hard to bring you the best programs and the best learning that they can. It is time to say thank you and appreciate all of their hard work throughout the year for you. Thank your teachers Vikings!

HSF Fun Run

 We have a great annual community event coming up. It's the HSF Fun Run coming up on Sunday May 3rd. It is a time when the whole community of Hillsborough gets together. There's a breakfast and a short run. This is all to honor the Hillsborough Schools Foundation and the Hillsborough City School District. Sign up and come on down and join your friends and other families in this great event.

Earth Day

 Earth Day is on Wednesday April 22nd. It is a day to celebrate the planet that we live on and how we can keep it healthy and clean. Let's remember to keep our own campus clean by throwing away your trash. Make sure that you're recycling what can be recycled, composting what can be composted, and throwing trash in the proper bins.

Wee Care Drive

 The WEE CARE Drive is coming up next week. Your first period class will designate things for you to bring in. The WEE CARE drive is to help support local families who are in need and is run through the Samaritan House. On Monday we will be having a presentation about this event with an adjusted Crocker connect schedule. This is a huge Donation Drive that Crocker does every year at this time. Help support our local Families in Need by bringing in donations and earning class competition points!

Mr Hager is on the DC Trip

 Hey Crocker students. this is a reminder that Mr Hager is on the DC trip all week. The Makerspace classroom will be closed. If you have an issue with your Chromebook or need a loaner Chromebook please go down to the office and they will help you there. 

Buzz Reminder: Playing Safely

Good morning, Crocker,

Play fighting, chasing, and roughhousing are not allowed at school—even if you’re “just joking.” Headlocks are never allowed, as they involve a person’s neck and spine. These actions can lead to serious injuries and make others feel unsafe. 

Keep your hands and feet to yourself and help make our school a safe, respectful place for everyone. If you do not, you will be referred to an administrator.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Lisa Ayer Crocker Middle School Assistant Principal she/her

Reminder: Going by North School

Good morning, 

Students should not walk or ride through the middle of North School when arriving at or exiting campus. This has created concerns for student and adult safety and has impacted North School staff.

At this time, please walk or ride only along the side path, near the field. Additionally, riding on the North or Crocker fields is not permitted, as it makes it difficult for our maintenance staff to properly maintain the fields for school sports.

Thank you for your cooperation,
