Dear Haycock Families,
We hope students enjoyed our two snow days last week and were able to fit in lots of sledding. It was good to have everyone back today.
A shoutout to our chorus who did a wonderful job at the pyramid concert at McLean High School last Thursday evening. Kudos to Ms. Blaha and Ms. Clark for preparing our students so well.
We held two parent coffees last week. Here are the presentation slides from the January coffees. If you have topics you would like us to talk about for the upcoming February and March coffees, please complete this quick form.
We are excited about the band concerts this week. We hope to see many of you there.
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu
Heather Boyd, AP HABoyd@fcps.edu

We hope that you were able to learn about the curriculum, course offerings, and connect with staff & students. If you were unable to attend, no worries! You can access all our presentations on the LMS Academic Advising website!
Please be on the lookout for future programs and activities to ensure a smooth transition for all rising 7th grade students!
Thank you and we look forward to fostering healthy partnerships with every one of you.
