Crispell Middle School Daily Announcements

    Good morning everyone, today is Friday, December 19, 2025 and today is a cycle A Day.

    PROPER USE OF SCHOOL RESTROOMS – Students are reminded that our school restrooms are 

    shared facilities that should be treated with respect and care. Please remember the following expectations:

    • Use restrooms appropriately. Restrooms are intended for their designated purpose only.
    • Do not write on walls, stalls, or fixtures. Graffiti, vandalism, or any form of damage to school property is unacceptable and may result in disciplinary action.
    • Maintain cleanliness. Dispose of trash properly, flush toilets after use, and wash your hands before leaving.
    • Show respect for others. Keep restrooms a safe, clean, and comfortable space for everyone in our school community.

    By following these guidelines, we demonstrate respect for our school, our peers, and ourselves. Thank you for helping maintain a positive and respectful environment.

    iREADY MAKE UP TESTS – The iReady Make Up tests are postponed for today, December 19 and have been rescheduled to Monday, December 22.  Any questions, please speak with Shannon Meland.

    CHORUS ROOM – All chorus and music classes (that meet in the chorus room) for today, December 19 have been moved to the band room. 

    DECEMBER CHARACTER TRAIT – Our character focus this week is Empathy. Empathy means trying to understand how someone else is feeling, even if their experience is different from yours. Before reacting, pause and imagine how you might feel in their situation. Empathy builds stronger friendships and helps us make better choices. Take time this week to listen with an open mind and treat others the way you’d want to be treated.
