Dear Haycock Families,
Thank you to our fifth grade team and the almost 60 parents who planned, chaperoned, and helped to make the annual overnight field trip to Camp Highroad an amazing experience for our fifth graders.
We are very proud to have been named a Purple Star school. See details below.
Please make sure that you have completed the Impact Aid Form in ParentVUE. We need a completed form for every student at Haycock.
We are finishing the first quarter strong. We know many of you have already had your parent-teacher conferences and teachers are continuing to meet with every parent through November 4 and 5 which are teacher work days. Teachers use these days to complete report cards, meet with parents, and plan quality instruction for our students.
We are excited for the beginning of the second quarter!
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu
Heather Boyd, AP HABoyd@fcps.edu
Krystal Styles, AP krstyles@fcps.edu
Guidelines for Thursday, October 31
Book Character Dress Up Day (optional)

On Thursday, October 31, we will celebrate Book Character Day. Our Kindergarten students will parade around the school dressed as their favorite book characters, and all students are welcome to dress as their favorite book character if they so choose that day. We ask that students do not wear masks that cover their entire face and that they bring no weapon like accessories. We will continue with instruction on that day and want our students to be able to focus and continue their learning. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

 We are proud that Haycock has been named and honored as a Purple Star School for the many ways we support military connected students and their families.
Impact Aid Form
The Federal Impact Aid program provides money to districts that enroll federally connected students. Help FCPS secure funding from the Impact Aid Program by helping us identify:
- Military families.
- Federally connected families.
- Families living on a military base.
Please complete one form for each child in your household. Remember that only the ENROLLING parent can fill out the Impact Aid Survey form. Your information will be kept strictly confidential. Your support will ensure that we receive the resources for which we are eligible. For questions, please do not contact your teachers or school office. Please contact the Impact Aid office at lmpactAid@fcps.edu or the support hotline at 703-329-7750.
See below for accessing the Impact Aid Form on your phone.
Haycock/Longfellow Park Invasive Pull Event
Also known as Cougar Woods!

Trees do an excellent job storing carbon and cooling the earth.

We’ll be led by trained Tree Rescuers. No prior experience or great physical strength necessary. Supplies provided, but if you have garden tools and gloves, please bring them. All ages are welcome although elementary school students must be accompanied by an adult. Directions to the meet-up location are in the SignUpGenius below. Please sign up here:
