Classroom observations are scheduled for 15 – 20 minutes in each classroom. Observing classes are for parents to see the curriculum of the next grade level being taught and are not intended for parents to pick/request the next grade level teacher for their child as we will not be accepting teacher requests. Observations start at 9:30 a.m., please come to the school office to sign-in and get a visitor’s badge. You do not need to call the school for an appointment, but if you would like more information, please call the school at 264-4183. |

| Here at Crocker/Riverside we have many staff members and families that are Dog Lovers. We love our dogs and many of us treat them like children. However, the district has a NO ANIMAL policy on school grounds except for service dogs. Please keep your dog(s) at home when dropping off and picking up your children. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. | ||||||||||||

We continue to have a problem with people pulling into the staff parking lot.
The parking lot is very small and is for STAFF ONLY!
Entering the parking lot to drop off children creates unsafe conditions and it is very difficult to see oncoming traffic when pulling out of the parking lot. We also continue to have a problem with people double parking and leaving their cars unattended in the front of the school.
This is a reminder that the front of the school is a drop-off and pick-up zone only! If you need to walk your child onto the school campus, you are to park across the street or on a side street.
The front of the school is small and becomes very congested during the morning drop-off and the afternoon pick-up times.
The school office daily receives many calls from parents and neighbors complaining about this problem.
Please do your part in keeping the front of the school safe for everyone by keeping the traffic moving.
Cars left unattended in front of the school may be ticketed by an officer.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation. |
