Dear Haycock Families,
We hope this finds you enjoying the remaining days of summer break. Many of our new teachers joined us yesterday for a wonderful breakfast provided by the PTA and a day of learning about all things Haycock. Many of them spent the earlier part of the week in the FCPS Great Beginnings Program for all new teachers.
We will be sending out teacher assignments by email no later than Wednesday, August 17. Please make sure to check your email. Teachers returned today excited and ready to start a great 2022-23 school year!
We will continue to send out weekly Haycock Hello communications, but after next Friday, August 19, we will switch to sending them out on Monday mornings.
We look forward to a great school year and to seeing you at Open House next Thursday, August 18. Please see the details below for that event.
With appreciation for your partnership,
Dr. Liz Beaty Ms. Heather Boyd Ms. Jody Delaney

Open House/Meet the Teacher Event Information- Thursday, August 18 (1:00-3:00)
Open House will be in person on Thursday, August 18. This will give you and your child the chance to meet their teacher, see the classroom, and practice with your child on how to get to their classroom on their own on the first day of school.
To stagger the number of families in the building at the same time, the schedule based on last name is the following:
1:00-1:30- A-F
1:30-2:00- G-L
2:00-2:30- M-R
2:30-3:00- S-Z
We ask that you come to the best of your ability during your last name time slot and leave the building when your session is over. For our new and youngest students, having fewer people in the building will help create a more comforting and calm environment for them to acclimate themselves and get excited and ready for the first day of school.
Please come out back to the playground after you finish up. Our wonderful PTA will be providing information and will have popsicles for our students!
 Our 6th grade Ambassadors provided fantastic tours of the building for our new families on Tuesday evening. Thank you to our 6th graders!
Parental Permission to Use Digital Resources
Be on the Lookout for the Request for Parental Permission to Use Digital Resources
Fairfax County Public Schools provides access to digital resources to maximize learning opportunities and protect student privacy. Each FCPS digital resource has had an instructional and technical review. Information about the educational technology tools approved for use within FCPS can be found in the online Digital Ecosystem Library.
Some FCPS-approved resources require parental consent. Parents will receive more information from Haycock on the first day of school. This will include the list of educational technology tools used and explain the process for providing permission. It is critical that parents respond to the request for parental permission so teachers can plan to use the best technology tools with students this school year.
Parents can find more information about FCPS-approved digital resources on the Digital Resources in FCPS webpage.
Back to School Night Information- August 25
6:00-6:30- Session 1 all grade levels (classrooms)
6:30-7:00- Session 2 Specialists, PTA, Administrative Team (gym)
7:00-7:30- Session 3 all grade levels (classrooms)
Specialists will be in the gym during Session 1 and Session 3 should parents want to meet them then.
Emergency Care Updates in SIS ParentVUE
Update Emergency Care Contacts in SIS
Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring that the climate in all FCPS facilities is safe and secure. In support of this goal, FCPS provides weCare@school (weCare), an emergency care information system, available to FCPS parents and guardians who have registered for their own Parent account.
weCare helps manage emergency medical information by enabling parents to go online to enter and update their children’s medical data at their convenience. Contact information provided automatically enrolls parents to receive eNotify communications from the district and their child’s school. eNotify is the communications tool for FCPS emergency, transportation, attendance, weather closings and delays, and essential outreach messages. Messages are sent via email and text messages. Occasional phone messages are sent as well.
Get more information about updating your emergency care information.
 We can't wait to see all our Haycock students for the first day of school on Monday, August 22!
