Haycock Hello

Grant - First grade Ms. Goldstein's class
Vayun - Sixth grade Mr. He's class
We are proud of you!
Thank you to all of the Haycock
families, the administration, and the Haycock staff for your support of the Jump
Rope for Heart Event. Haycock Cougars have raised $7,863 from
the 137 students who have registered on the American Heart Association
website. Please continue to register on this website heart.org/jump and click on students and type
in Haycock as your school, as we are collecting donations until March 16th.
When your child registers they will
receive a free wrist band. Instant prizes have been going home daily as
donations have been coming in. They will also learn about heart health
through this year’s heart health ambassadors, The Scare Squad. Prize
packages will be going home in April.
Thank you again for all your support
and we LOVE seeing our students enjoying jumping rope with parents and buddy
classes.
Haycock's crossing guard, Beeda, wrote a note of thanks to the Haycock community. Thank you Beeda for keeping us safe!
The 2018 Real Food for Kids
Culinary Challenge and Wellness Expo will be held on March 17 at Hayfield
Secondary School from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Doors and exhibits open at 10 a.m.
The event will feature a public tasting of dishes created by students to be
considered for school menus along with a plenary session with speakers,
panelists, and special guests sharing insights on food, nutrition, and health.
Admission is $15 per person and includes the public tasting, plenary, and
exhibits.
Get more information and register to attend.
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

Thank you to Ms. Callsen and Ms. Hecht for organizing Jump Rope for Heart! It was great seeing students jumping rope, doing the hula hoop, and using Skip- It (Remember those?!)
Some of our students were so inspired by Jump Rope for Heart week that they created posters about hearts and health like Mya in Ms. Smith's second grade classroom.
    This past week was Dr. Seuss Week where students dressed up in different ways to celebrate Dr. Seuss and reading!
