Haycock Hello
February 23, 2018
We are so excited to host the
Haycock Boosterthon Fun Run to help our school! The Haycock Boosterthon Fun Run is a fun,
nine-day program that combines world-class character content with a
highly-profitable fundraiser. Along with this program, we will provide each
student with a FREE custom Haycock Elementary School t-shirt to wear the day of
the Haycock Boosterthon Fun Run event, at no cost to the student, school, or the
Haycock PTA.
In order to make this happen,
we need your help! We are hoping to
partner with local businesses to help sponsor our effort. If you know of or are
part of a business that would be interested in sponsoring t-shirts for our
students, please forward them the sponsor form found below. Their name or logo
will be displayed on the back of a shirt that will be worn by every student in
the school. Not only will their support be helpful to Haycock Elementary School,
but we believe it will bring more awareness to them and provide a profit in
return. We need a commitment from all sponsors no later than the end of the
day on March 6, 2018 in order to supply all of our students with a t-shirt.
Thank you in advance for
supporting our school through the Haycock Boosterthon Fun Run! If you have any
questions, please contact the administrative team at jjdonnelly@fcps.edu, wsreeder1@fcps.edu, and
haboyd@fcps.edu.
Hello Haycock Parents!
We are very excited to announce that the “FLES: Learning
Spanish at Haycock” course is now available on Blackboard. You can access tools
like Quizlet as well as links to songs and videos that will help your child to learn
Spanish at home. This is also a great
resource for children that want to strengthen their Spanish language skills and
keep pushing to learn more of this wonderful language. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

The Art and Science of Talking with Your Kids, featuring Dr. Wendy
Mogel
Wednesday, May
2, 2018, at 7 p.m. at Temple Rodef Shalom in McLean
Buy your tickets
here (https://voicelessons.brownpapertickets.com) for this essential guide to
the art of talking with children of all ages. Learn how to cultivate the art of
conversation – from infancy to adulthood – in an age of hurry, worry, and
digital distraction. Presented by the Safe Community Coalition, Dr. Mogel is
known for combining cutting-edge psychological research with timeless wisdom in
guiding parents through the rough waters of child rearing in today’s
competitive world.
In her new book,
Voice Lessons for Parents: What to Say,
How to Say it, and When to Listen, Dr. Mogel shows us how a change in voice
can transform communication and ease the relationship between parents and
children. Her research-based guidelines help parents communicate with more
warmth, respect, and sincerity, as well as foster open parent-child
relationships that will help ensure our children’s success in the classroom and
in life. Find more information at the Safe Community Coalition website (mcleanscc.org).
This week students, staff members, and parents gave their appreciation to our hard working custodians. Thank you for keeping Haycock clean, for taking out the trash and recycling each day, and for keeping essential items like paper towels in stock. We appreciate you each and every day!
Soon we will be in
staffing season. The number of staff members we are allocated is based
upon student enrollment. If you have a child or know of a family who has
a child who will be attending Haycock next school year and who currently does not
attend Haycock, please register your child now.
If a child has been
accepted into the AAP program from another school and the family has notified
the AAP Office of the acceptance, there is no need to notify Haycock. The
AAP Office communicates the list of students who will be attending Haycock from
other schools to Haycock.
Click on the link
below to fill out the form for rising kindergarteners. If your child
is turning 5 on or before September 30, 2018, they are eligible for
kindergarten. Partial registration paperwork is accepted. This form is
only requested to be completed if you have a rising kindergartener attending
Haycock next school year.

Right now, we want to
make sure our school is fully staffed for next school year. We also want
to make sure we are able to have the smallest class sizes possible. The
sooner we know how many students will be attending Haycock next school year,
the sooner we can advocate for more staff and then hire more teachers.
You are welcome to use
the attached New Student Registration Checklist in order to help you gather the
information to register your child at Haycock.
The
person who is able to answer all of your registration questions is Rebecca
Wright. She is reached via e-mail at: rlwright@fcps.edu or call the school office
