 Dear Haycock Families,
We look forward to joining our PTA this week to make it a wonderful Staff Appreciation Week for every member of our dedicated Haycock staff. They are simply out of this world!
Our first graders put on wonderful performances of The Great Kapok Tree play last week. It was wonderful to have so many parents join us for these performances. We are incredibly proud of all our first graders, and thankful to Ms. Surber, Ms. Hepner, and Ms. Kuhn for their hard work which got our students ready to take the stage.
Every year, we ask for parent input as we begin work on class placements for next year. We do not take teacher requests but we do take into consideration information that parents share about their student when we are creating classes for next year so that we set every student up for success. If you would like to provide input, which is optional, please complete this form no later than May 17, 2024.
If your student will not be returning to Haycock next year, we ask that you complete this form. This information helps us with planning and staffing.
Wednesday, May 8 is Bike, Walk, or Roll to School day. Join us on Wednesday, if possible, by choosing a healthy way to get to school.
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu
Heather Boyd, AP HABoyd@fcps.edu
Krystal Styles, AP krstyles@fcps.edu
