Dear Haycock Families,
We had an amazing week at Haycock celebrating Arbor Day, Take Your Child to Work Day, fieldtrips to the Smithsonian, National History Day state competition, Science Olympiad Celebration and the All County Chorus performance. We love being able to celebrate our students and all of their many affinities!
We are preparing to celebrate and appreciate our wonderful Haycock staff next week (May 6-10). They are dedicated and care deeply about our students. Join us in showing our gratitude to them next week for what they do every day of the school year. Collectively and individually, they make a difference for our students.
A reminder that this coming Friday, May 3 is a student holiday/teacher workday for the Orthodox Good Friday holiday.
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu
Heather Boyd, AP HABoyd@fcps.edu
Krystal Styles, AP krstyles@fcps.edu

Orthodox Good Friday - Teacher Work Day - Student Holiday - May 3rd
Friday, May 3rd, is Orthodox Good Friday, and a teacher work day. Millions of Orthodox Christians commemorate Good Friday, also known as “Great Friday” to remember the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. There will be no school for students that day. See the complete school year calendar.
State National History Day Competition
Congratulations to our 6th grade students who participated in the Virginia NHD Competition in Richmond this weekend. They represented Haycock incredibly well, and we are so proud of all of them.
