First Grade...The Great Kapok Tree Plays
Dear Haycock Families,
This week, we begin SOL testing for our students in grades 3-6. Please see the SOL testing schedule below. We know our students are ready! Make sure your student gets a good night's sleep the night before their test and has a good breakfast the morning of.
If you would like to give us input as we are making class placement decisions for next school year, please include information about your student(s) on this form. This is a reminder that we do not consider specific teacher requests, and completing the form is optional. We will close the form on Friday, May 8.
It was wonderful to see so many of you last week at Haycock for the band, strings, and chorus concerts. We also saw many of you for the 1st grade Great Kapok Tree plays, the 3rd grade Greece and Rome presentations, and the 2nd grade wax museum presentations. Wow- it was a busy week! We hope you saw first hand how much our students have learned and grown this school year.
Join us this week in showing our deep appreciation for all our Haycock staff members. We are deeply grateful for the difference they make for our students each and every day. Happy Staff Appreciation Week to our Haycock own 💙
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu
Heather Boyd, AP HABoyd@fcps.edu
