Buzz Reminder: Play Fighting, Chasing, and Rough Housing

Dear Crocker,

Play fighting, chasing, and roughhousing are not allowed at school—even if you think it's a joke. Hitting or kneeing someone in a private area can cause serious injury. Headlocks are never allowed because they put dangerous pressure on the neck and spine.

These behaviors are unsafe and can make others feel uncomfortable or afraid. You are expected to keep your hands and feet to yourself at all times and follow school rules. If this behavior continues, you will be referred to an administrator, and appropriate consequences will follow.

Please cooperate for your own and your friends' safety.

READcycle

Friday is the last day to donate books for North's READcycle drive. Please look at home for any gently used books for TK-7th that your family has finished reading. Drop them off in the Crocker Library before dismissal on Friday. Thanks for helping, Vikings!

February Reading Challenge is here!

The Crocker February Reading Challenge is back again this year. Can you increase the time you spend reading? 

The goal of this challenge is to read four books in four specific categories in four weeks of February. If you are interested in taking on the challenge, swing by the library to pick up a reading log and check out the tables of recommendations.

If you complete the challenge,  you will be invited to a special lunchtime event the first week of March, and you'll receive a raffle ticket for a bookstore gift card. Last year we had 14 students and 4 staff members complete the February Reading Challenge. Let's see if we can beat that number this year. 

See Mrs. Gilchrist with any questions.
