Welcome Back!
All signs point to another incredible and productive school year. Our skilled and devoted staff is already planning and preparing for your child(ren). Our enthusiastic office team is registering new families, ordering needed materials and updating student files. Our hard working and conscientious custodians have spent the entire summer thoroughly cleaning the facility. And, our much-appreciated PTO is gearing up to welcome families, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer other exciting events and programs. We are indeed a joyous and caring community with the common goals of nurturing responsible, caring students and promoting high-level learning.
Thank you to all who are helping prepare for the new school year. Your commitment to ensuring that Haymarket remains a celebrated and successful school is awe-inspiring. We eagerly look forward to greeting students and families again. It remains an honor and privilege to serve as your admin team. Please stop by and say hello. Together, we know we will make this school year one of growth and achievement for all children.

Plan on eating lunch with your child this year? If so, please read!
- Each class will have one table that is for all packers and anyone eating school lunches.
- Each class will also have one allergy aware table for all those buying school lunch (school lunches do not contain nuts) and those with allergies.
- There will be signs at each table that have the table number and reminders about what table is what per #1 and #2 above (odd tables will be the allergy aware tables).
- We will continue to work with all individual parents to determine specific needs on a case-by-case basis...safety is #1 for us!
As usual, you will be required to have an ID when coming to visit your child for lunch.
Playground Updates
Student Placement
A great deal of time, effort and thought has gone into the process of student placement for the 2019-2020 school year. Careful consideration was given to input from staff and families, as well as student learning styles. Classrooms have been balanced academically and socially. Our class lists are structured to provide equitable class sizes at each grade level. Moving students mid-year is difficult without causing imbalances and inequities.
Thank you so much for being positive with your child and helping him or her understand that it is impossible to place all students with a preferred best friend or teacher. ALL of our staff works hard to make school a positive experience for ALL students. Haymarket ES is eagerly looking forward to enriching your child’s life. Thank you for understanding that it can take a few weeks for a child to acclimate to a new grade, peer group and teacher.
Placement letters will be mailed the week of August 12th.
