 Dear Parents,
We've had an AMAZING week working with our Haycock teachers and meeting many of our wonderful students at Open House. It is obvious that we have a terrific learning community and we look forward to a phenomenal year.
Looking forward to seeing our students on Tuesday, August 28. Enjoy your last weekend of summer!

Parent Sign-In Procedures
We have a sign-in procedure for parents entering the building. If
you are visiting the school you must scan your ID (driver’s license, passport,
etc.) and a badge will be produced. The student who arrives late or leaves
early will continue to be signed in/out on a separate computer. Haycock
encourages parents NOT to sign students out past 3:30 as to not interrupt
dismissal procedures. Unless volunteering, parents should not go to the
classrooms while students are in the building for the following reasons:
- Protecting our students
at all times is our top priority. When adults enter the building and
go to locations that are not authorized, that sets up a dangerous
precedence where the staff cannot account for the adults in the building.
- Going to a classroom in
the morning to speak with a teacher takes them away from preparing for the day’s lesson.
- When the class is in
session, teachers cannot have their attention away from the students and
their needs.
- If you would like to
speak or meet with a teacher, send them an email or leave them a
phone message to set up a time where it will not interfere in their daily
responsibilities.
Thanks for your understanding and support.
Kiss and Ride:
Westmoreland Street Kiss and
Ride area will be utilized for all students and siblings in grades K through 6. Adults are on duty to assist students in and out of cars. Kiss and Ride will be open from 9:00-9:20. Students being dropped
off may enter the building through door number 10 starting at 9:10. Door number 2, which is to the left of the
main entrance, will be open at 9:00am. Students arriving after 9:20 will need to enter the office accompanied by an adult to obtain a tardy pass.
- Please
have patience while you wait in the Kiss and Ride line, treating staff members with respect. We are all trying to create a safe system for students and parents.
- All
cars must enter Kiss and Ride through the entrance nearest the
Temple. Once you have entered, you will go through the loop.
Students are only to be let out of the car in the loop in designated areas, where teachers and
patrols are present.
- Cars
need to follow the directional arrows on the pavement and/or prominent
signs.
- Do not drive to the front entrance of the building when buses are present,
either for arrival, dismissal or field trips.
Limited parking is provided for
cars at the Westmoreland side of the school building and in the local
neighborhood. No students should be dropped off in the Haycock Road parking
lot.
To improve
safety for our students, the Haycock Road parking lot will be closed completely
from 9:00-9:15am and 4:00-4:15pm. No cars will be able to enter or leave
during this time. Students are utilizing the crosswalk and safety is
paramount. Parents who have meetings in the school during this
time-period should use the lower parking lot or neighborhood parking.
