Haycock Hello
April 2, 2018
I wish everyone a fabulous return from Spring Break! This was a well deserved break for our staff and students. Hopefully everyone was able to read a great book and spend time with friends and family. We are so proud of the on-going work our staff and students do on a daily basis. Thank you for supporting Haycock! I look forward to the rest of this school year.
Mr. Donnelly
The Haycock Odyssey of the Mind Team B placed second in
the Odyssey of the Mind regional competition on Sunday, March 18! We are very proud of the hard work the
students placed into the competition.
Thank you to coaches Kapur and Thomas for dedicating time and giving a
venue for our students to be creative and have fun.
The students on the team are:
Isabelle Elders, Aashna Kapur, Angelina Thomas, Taran Kamat,
and Alexander Mallus
All of our sixth grade students had the opportunity to
compete in National History Day. After
the first round of competition here at Haycock, quite a few of our students
made it to the District Level competition.
The District Level of competition was held at Mount Vernon High School
on March 17.
We will know the outcomes of all the competitions
shortly. There is one
competition we do know the results of and that is the exhibit board
competition. A group of Haycock students
will be advancing to the State Level of National History Day in Richmond on
April 21. The students are: Conor
Patton, Vic Van Vrnaken, Hollis Freeman, and Tyler Fontenot. We are so proud of the hard work the students have put into creating their exhibit!
All of the projects were very well done and it is apparent the
students have put a lot of time and effort into their work. This is a great example of a hands-on and
interactive approach to learning. Thank
you to Ms. Pratt for bringing the joy of National History Day to Haycock. All of the sixth grade teachers did a great
job scaffolding the learning for their students. The parents have supported their children
through this learning process and we enjoy being partners in education with
you. Thank you!
We are now 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
