Welcome

Crocker Parent Group: Who We Are

On behalf of the Crocker Parent Group (CPG) Executive Board, we want to welcome you back from summer break! We are Deb Crisp and Linda Willey and will serve as your co-presidents for this year. We both have rising 6th and 8th graders this year at Crocker. Our journey started at South Preschool 9 years ago and together we’ve watched and continue to watch our kids thrive in the Hillsborough school system.

As background, the Crocker Parent Group was organized to promote the welfare of the children attending Crocker and to encourage cooperation among parents, teachers, administrators and the trustees of Hillsborough School Board. With the ongoing pandemic, this mission is more critical than ever and we look forward to working with our educators and parents to make this a memorable year for our Vikings!

Please don’t hesitate to be in touch with any questions.

Best,

Deb Crisp

We want to see your First Day of Crocker pics!

School starts on Monday, 08/24, and we want to see all the smiling student faces fill our screens. Feel free to use your own sign or download one below and take a picture of it with your Viking. You can also download the images and use as a desktop background or zoom background with your child next to the screen. This makes a very good distance learning themed picture!

How to download:

Click on an image to enlarge. From the upper right menu, you can click the printer icon to print or the arrow down icon to download as a jpeg.

*Thank you to new Crocker parent, Becky Leao, for making these signs.

After taking your pictures, please post to your instagram feed and be sure to tag:

#crockerparentgroup

#wearecrocker

and for 6th graders or new students you can additionally tag #firstdayasaVIKING

Your pictures will show up on the @crockerparentgroup page. We will also choose a few pics to feature in the first newsletter of the year! If you are not on instagram, but would still like to be considered for the newsletter, please email your "First Day" pictures to crockervikingnews@gmail.com.

If you haven't followed us on instagram, please do it today! Important parent group & school reminders will be relayed via instagram throughout the year.

Keep showing your Viking pride!

As your kids get into the swing of things, distance learning style, why not order some new zoom camera ready t-shirts, sweatshirts, and drink tumblers? Be ready for school-wide assemblies, spirit days or any day on zoom with some new Crocker Spirit Gear.
