New Safety Features

You may have noticed the newly painted red curb on the circle driveway in front of the school. This is now open for parents to quickly stop, pick up students, and safely make their way home. The red curb should be used for one lane of cars. Double parking or crossing the double yellow lines is not safe and puts students at risk for injury. Please remember to always use the crosswalk, and say hello to Mr. Mike!! Lets make Haycox a safe place for students, parents, and Haycox team members.

After School Enrichment Program (ELOP)

This afterschool program is now available to all students who express interest. So far, we have approximately 240 students! The program includes learning about art, dance, cooking, chemistry/science, and acting. This is an amazing opportunity for your children! Visit the office to your students sign up.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The PTA is excited to announce the launch of a new PTA year, after being dormant for 2 years. We would like to invite you to our PTA meeting on Wednesday, October 12th, 2022 from 1:30pm to 2:30pm in Room 6.

The PTA needs your help with assemblies, character counts, fundraising, and much more. Come on Wednesday to see what we’re up to this year and have a yummy snack.

We value any contribution you can make at our monthly PTA meetings. We will also have membership sign ups and a place for you to share your ideas for making Haycox a great place to connect and thrive.

We hope to see you there.
