Crispell Middle School Daily Announcements

Good morning everyone, today is Tuesday, January 13, 2026 and today is a cycle A Day.

MIDTERM TESTING – Today is a big day and it’s time to show what you know on your midterm exam!

We know you’ve been working hard and now is your moment to shine.  This test isn’t just about what  you’ve 

learned, it’s a chance to prove to yourself how far you’ve come.

Remember:

Get in the zone – take your time, read each question carefully, and complete your work with care.

Stay positive – a strong mindset makes a big difference!  Use past successes, and reminders of your preparation, 

to remind you that you can do this too!

Believe in yourself – you have to believe it to achieve it.  Believe that you are capable of doing hard things 

and get it done.

You are intelligent.  You are prepared.  You are ready.  So take a deep breath, stay calm, and give it your best 

effort.  You’ve got this!

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.

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

Here’s a quick reminder about hallway safety. Our hallways are shared spaces, so please walk at all times, keep your hands and feet to yourself, and use quiet voices so learning can continue in nearby classrooms. Make sure you’re moving directly to your destination and staying to the right side of the hallway.

Being safe and respectful in the hallways helps everyone get where they need to go calmly and on time. Thanks for doing your part to keep our school a safe and positive place! Have a great day!
