Principal's Update

Dear Viking Families,

Our Crocker educators and I are excited to partner with our parents in the year ahead as we care for your children and each other. As a community of learners, we will live the HCSD essential outcomes through inclusive student-centered instructional practices of social-emotional learning and engaging standards-based academic instruction. We will work together to provide a safe, caring, learning community for our middle-schoolers during these changing and challenging times.


Happy New School Year,

Principal Maria Brady

Health and Safety


At Crocker, we are following the best path to safe and full in-person instruction at the outset of the school year:


Here are several ways in which parents can support safe and full in-person instruction:


Per HCSD School Reopening Plan, CPHD, and CDC Pandemic Recovery Framework, the above "guidance is designed to enable all schools to offer and provide full in-person instruction to all students safely, consistent with the current scientific evidence about COVID-19, even if pandemic dynamics shift throughout the school year, affected by vaccination rates and the potential emergence of viral variants."
