Dear Families,

Happy 2022! Our Crocker educators continue to focus on the time in the classroom with our students. Despite the challenges we face, we work hard to provide our students with engaging classroom instruction. In addition to providing an enriching curriculum, we are focusing on our students' mental health and physical well-being. I am amazed at the resilience of our Crocker staff and their dedication to our students and our Viking community.

We require students to stay home when ill or quarantined for positive cases. Please have your child reach out to their teacher if they need support due to these absences. Our teachers are notified of students quarantining and are providing support.

Parents, please remind your child to “Mask Up” daily.

Happy New Year,

Maria Brady
