Haycock Elementary services a diverse population that encompasses a wide range of learners. Haycock has maintained a program of academic excellence in a child-centered environment. Haycock Elementary School has had a tradition of high student achievement, a dedicated staff, and a very active and supportive parent community.
Together, as a staff and a community, the school works to leave no children behind for the academic, social, and personal needs of their present and future. It sees itself as always being on a journey towards this end. The staff is therefore always looking to learn from each other about how to be more effective for their students.
The school's mission and goals are framed by the belief that it should help every child to achieve at high levels and to grow significantly during the school year, regardless of his or her starting point. It further believes it is its responsibility to focus this achievement and growth in five important areas: academic skills and understanding, love of learning, citizenship skills, sense of community, and sense of hope.
A dynamic partnership among students, parents, teachers, staff members, and the community is critical to exceptional student achievement. The school's diversity creates resilient, open, and innovative citizens for the local and global communities.
The school's outstanding scholastic program, supportive parent community, and overall commitment to excellence make Haycock Elementary School an exceptional place for students and the surrounding community. Great pride is taken in cultivating students to be prepared for the 21st century.
