Greetings Haycock Families,
Thank you to those of you who were able to join us at our Principal Coffees on Thursday. The presentation highlights are below.
Our staff continues to work very hard to plan for and deliver high quality instruction for all our students in this virtual setting. We ask that you work with us as partners to ensure that requests for technical assistance, conversations with teachers, or registering your concerns does not take place during the time teachers are providing instruction or small group support to our students.
We’ve had some questions regarding the iReady Universal Screener assessments that our students are taking. These assessments provide valuable data for teachers to plan instruction that is tailored to meet the needs of each student. For more information about iReady and to view resources that explain how you can support your student at home when taking these assessments, please see https://www.fcps.edu/us.
We want to hear how things are going at home! Please give us feedback on the following Google form.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT -
BE ONE OF THE 51
Don’t wait one more day to join and contribute to the Haycock PTA!
This is the last week of our annual PTA fundraising drive.
We are only 51 families away from hitting our goal of 50% parent participation in our PTA Armchair fundraiser and $5,200 away from hitting $30,000 raised. Let’s bring this thing home!
A huge thank you to the 224 families who have contributed and joined the PTA so far.
The question is, are you one of the 224?
If not, please consider joining the PTA and making a one-time contribution to our Armchair fundraiser. The money we raise helps pay for supplement educational tools for our teachers and students, continuing education for our teachers, registration fees for club participation, books, computers and more.
To contribute visit the Haycock PTA website (haycockpta.org) OR click this link: https://form.jotform.com/202415247091145

Attention 5th and 6th graders!
Are you interested in becoming a part of Haycock’s SCA?
The process may look different this year, but we are so excited to continue this tradition and elect officers for the 2020-2021 school year!
The SCA helps to spread positivity within the Haycock community. SCA officers help to develop the fun spirit weeks that we can have virtually, as well as come up with fundraising ideas that help others in the community.
To be an SCA officer, you must:
- Attend monthly meetings before school
- Promote school spirit days, fundraisers, and other SCA events
- Check your fcpsschools email account weekly in order to stay in contact with other officers and advisors
- Enjoy working as part of a team and be a positive role model and leader at Haycock
Please be aware meetings that are held for SCA take place mornings before school, beginning around 8:30 am. Make sure that this is something you can commit to all year before deciding to apply.
