Haycock Hello 11-10-17
The
Haycock PTA is thanking the parents and students of Haycock for purchasing over
400 bricks during our Brick-A-Thon. The PTA will be offering pizza to all
students on Wednesday, November 15 during lunch. This means pizza is
available for all students to eat on Wednesday. If your child does not
want to eat pizza or is allergic to pizza, the cafeteria is still serving lunch
on Wednesday. You are also welcome to pack a lunch for your child if you
wish to do so. Eating pizza is optional. Thank you to the Haycock
PTA for such a gracious gift.
On Tuesday, November 14, members of the Madison City School's leadership team and curriculum team will be visiting Haycock. During their visit, they will be visiting classrooms and speaking with staff.
Due to our hard working staff and their dedication to being the best, we have the opportunity to showcase our staff. It will be my pleasure, as the principal of Haycock, to showcase our great school to Madison City Schools.
Progress reports will be sent home with all students on Tuesday, November 14. Grades will be available online on Saturday, November 11. To access your child(ren)'s grades via Student Information System (SIS) Parent, visit the SIS Information page on the FCPS public website. On that page, you can find links to:
- Log in to your SIS Parent account,
- Register for an account if you don’t have one,
or
- Reset your password if you’ve forgotten it.
The
Winter READ IN Day is December 15th. Our focus for the READ IN
is always reading stamina and volume. This is a day when students spend reading
and enjoying books, a prelude to vacation days we hope will be filled with
reading (and many good things!). An additional focus for the READ
IN Day is student affinities, an area of strength and interest. We will
host topic book clubs, where students will have opportunity to teach partners
about their learning.
In
addition, we hope to welcome parent speakers to discuss their area of
expertise, strength and occupation they love. In the past, topics included:
aviation, universal design for learning, editing books, authoring
articles and texts, university teaching with focused proficiency in an academic
topic, engineering and more. We are planning on 30 minute sessions for
students with similar interests. If you are able to come to Haycock
on Friday, December 15th, and can speak with a student group, please
e-mail our reading specialist, Barbara Bosworth, to indicate your interest and
optimal times to come. Her e-mail address is: bybosworth@fcps.edu We are
grateful for your help to support our affinities program by sharing your
expertise and excitement for learning.
(Haycock
students study an area of passion and interest, an affinity. By reading
in their topic of interest, they increase their background knowledge,
vocabulary and learn how to learn. Parents can support children’s
learning through library visits for books, or museum/other field trips to
augment the child’s learning.)
Thank you to Ms. Jennifer Monken, a Haycock mom, for the time and dedication she puts into collecting Box Tops here at Haycock. We just received a check for $620.80 from Box Tops. Thank you to everyone who drops off their Box Tops!
