 Students on field day participating in the egg and spoon relay, the sponge relay, and the field hockey station. The students gave Friday's field day rave reviews!
Dear Haycock Families,
We could not have asked for a better day weather wise on Friday for field day! It was a beautiful day and so much fun for our students. Many thanks to Nisha Hecht, our PE teacher, for all she did to organize the games and schedule for field day. Gratitude also to the many parents who volunteered to help out. We couldn't have done it without you, and we appreciate you.
Please consider joining us for a family picnic on Thursday evening, June 4 from 5-7. The PTA has secured a bounce house! Pack your own picnic dinner or pre-order dinner from Chick-fil-A (link below). We look forward to gathering as a community to close out Haycock's 70th birthday year together. Grant money from the Fairfax250 Commission allowed us to purchase a small Haycock birthday memento for all our students.
We are excited that all our 4th graders are going to release the trout they have been raising all year at Elizabeth Furnace, Virginia on Thursday. Their participation in the Trout in the Classroom program has been a wonderful year- long learning experience for them. We thank the Haycock PTA for subsidizing this field trip for our 4th graders.
If you have a graduating high school senior who attended Haycock, remind them to join us on Monday, June 8 at 2:30 to walk the halls of Haycock one last time in their graduation robes. We will give them the clap out that they didn't get the year they were in 6th grade due to Covid.💙
We are looking forward to celebrating our current 6th grade students on Wednesday, June 11 with end of year festivities for them, and again on Friday, June 12 at 10 a.m. for their promotion ceremony in the gym. It's hard to believe we are this close to the end of the school year.
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu

- Continue learning started during the school year

 🖍️Support The Crayon Initiative
Recycle for a Cause!
Do you have old, broken, or unwanted crayons lying around? Don’t toss them—donate them!
Our school is collecting used crayons to support The Crayon Initiative, a nonprofit that recycles crayons into new ones and donates them to children’s hospitals across the country. This program not only helps reduce landfill waste but also brings color, creativity, and joy to kids in need.
📦 Collection Dates: June 8-12 📍 Drop-Off Location: Boxes in front hall
Let’s work together to make a big impact with something as small as a crayon!

💸School Board Adopts Fiscal Year 2027 Approved Budget
On May 21, the Fairfax County School Board unanimously adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Approved Budget, continuing FCPS’ commitment to sustaining excellence by prioritizing competitive compensation and strategic investments that support student success.
The adopted budget reflects the division’s ongoing efforts to navigate a challenging fiscal environment shaped in part by chronic state underfunding and economic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the budget maintains key investments and restores several reductions made during the prior fiscal year. Read about the FY 2027 Budget.
