Haycock Open House- Thursday, August 15

1:00-1:30- Last names beginning A-F

1:30-2:00- Last names beginning G-L

2:00-2:30- Last names beginning M-R

Elementary Early Release Mondays Information 

To meet the requirements of the Virginia Literacy Act passed by the General Assembly, all FCPS elementary schools will have seven 3 hour early release Mondays. This time will be utilized for teachers to complete required professional development for the new Virginia Literacy Act, as well as plan instruction using the new reading and math state standards. Additional information can be found on the FCPS  Early Release Mondays webpage.

We wanted to provide a reminder, following up from the communication from FCPS that was sent in June. Haycock Elementary will dismiss at 1:05 pm on the dates below.  These early dismissal Mondays provide opportunities for you to schedule medical appointments without having students miss school.

  • September 23

  • November 25
  • February 24
  • March 17
  • April 28
