Dear 5th-grade HCSD families or new-to-HCSD families,

Crocker Middle School is proud to be the premier public middle school in the area. Our whole-child approach to social and emotional development coupled with our rigorous instructional practices have led us to become the best public middle school in the area. Our enthusiastic and dedicated educators are uniquely poised to support your soon-to-be Viking in a few short months and are looking forward to meeting you as well as your students.

We are excited to continue the transition process to Crocker Middle School for your wonderful 5th grader(s)! Over the course of this school year, you will be receiving a lot of information from Ms. Bonnie Slater, Crocker Middle School's, outstanding counselor. To help, we will also push out notifications such as this to help you and your soon-to-be Viking with a smooth transition. Above, you will find important calendar reminders, and below you will find helpful information.

We are so excited to be able to share the many wonderful opportunities your students will have here at Crocker and will look forward to meeting you soon. There is no better place to grow into a young adult than Crocker Middle School where students can Be Here. Be You. [and] Belong. -Brené Brown.

In partnership,

Keith J. Rocha, Principal and Proud Crocker Viking
