Haycock Hello 5.22.23

mmmmm

Dear Haycock Families,

We completed all our scheduled SOL testing on Friday.  Our students were respectful and thoughtful to one another by keeping quiet in the hallways so everyone had the opportunity to concentrate and do their best.  We will be doing make up testing for students who missed their grade level SOL this coming week.  SOL scores will be available in ParentVUE on June 12th

The end of the year is exciting and our students have many well deserved fun things to look forward to in the next few weeks.  We can't wait to see our Kindergarten students put on their play this week.  They will be performing for parents and families on three different evenings. We also loved hearing our third grade students share their poetry with parents this past week. 

With appreciation for your partnership,

Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu

Tutoring Grants Available for Families

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is now accepting applications from parents for tutoring microgrants for their children through the K-12 Learning Acceleration Grants program. 

The program was created to help Virginia families address the impact of the pandemic on student learning. It provides $1,500 grants to parents of school-age children for tutoring in specific subjects. Children from homes with family incomes at 300% or less of the federal poverty level may qualify for $3,000 grants. 

Available services include in-person, online, and hybrid tutoring provided one-on-one or in small group or large group settings. The first step in the process is to visit VDOE’s K-12 Learning Acceleration Grants page and create an application account.
