From Your Family Liaison: Kathryn Dunbar

With Groundhog Day and hopes for an early Spring still a few weeks away, cold weather lingers on despite the few warm days at the beginning of January.      Staff at Haycock have noticed that the majority of our students are suffering from dry hands and severely chapped lips. If you are able, please add a small lotion and/or lip balm to your student's backpack (labeled with their name, of course!). Little things like this can keep your child focused in class!

ALSO - Students returned to school with lots of treasured items they received over the winter break: new water bottles, new lunchboxes, new jackets and sweaters...upon my personal inspection during lunch, most of these items are not labeled.

    I implore you to use a permanent marker and write your student's last name on a tag or the bottom of these new items. Lost items cannot be returned unless we know to whom they belong!.
