Dear Haycock Families,
We wish you a happy Memorial Day. We talked with our students this past weak about the meaning of Memorial Day and the importance of those we honor and remember today.
This Friday is Field Day with a rain date of June 7. Fingers crossed for good weather! Many thanks to all the parents who have volunteered to help. If you want to stop by during Field Day but have not signed up as a volunteer, we ask that you check in at the office first and get your visitor badge. A huge thank you to Nisha Hecht and Jim Wilcox, our PE teachers, for all the work and time they have put in to organize such a fun event for all our students.
If you have or know of a graduating high school senior who went to Haycock, please have them come by Haycock on Wednesday, May 29 at 2:45 to walk the hallways of Haycock once more and receive our congratulations and best wishes.
We look forward to these upcoming last few weeks of a great year of learning, growing, and making an impact together.
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal [email protected]

🥗 Remember to Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance!
It’s a busy time of year, and we know there are many priorities on your plate. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to check your student’s MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Free and Reduced-Price Meals
Families who earn less than 185% of poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals (FRM). However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2024-25 school year will be available this summer.
If you have a current balance and think you may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2023-24 school year.
