**Girls on the Run** Coaches Needed for Next Year!
Please consider being a part of the fabulous running organization that teaches positive emotional, social, mental, and physical development to girls grades 3-6. A coach (or combined group of coaches can share the job) meets with a group of up to 20 girls twice a week for 12 weeks and then the season concludes with a 5K race. If you like to run or just know you’d like to help with this special program, please visit the Girls on the Run website, www.girlsontherunofnova.org and click on the link “BE A HEAD COACH” or “BE AN ASSISTANT COACH” to learn more. You may also email specific questions about coaching this program at Haycock to Beth Armstrong at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Beth is a Haycock parent and has been a GOTR coach for several years. A squad (group of 20) must have one volunteer Head Coach that has attended the coach training and received certification to coach from Girls On The Run. The date of this training session is tentatively set for Saturday, September 12, 2009. Parents are responsible for signing up to receive the required training. Please contact Lori Mabus at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you would like to lead a fast team and inspire a wonderful group of young girls.

FCPS Adjusts Bell Schedule for 2009-10 School Year
Haycock’s bell schedule for 2009-2010 school year will be 9:15 am start time and 3:55 pm end time. Monday early release time will be 1:25 pm. The morning Kiss-n-Ride at Haycock looks like it will open at 8:50 am. Please plan now for this 5 minute change if it requires a change in family schedule, day care, or before or after school activities. The changes are being implemented in order to streamline bus routes. One of the changes is that students will not necessarily have the same driver on both the morning and the afternoon bus runs. These adjustments are separate and apart from the proposal to change school start times that the Fairfax County School Board considered and voted to reject in March 2009. These adjustments focus on achieving efficiencies within the current bell structure, which the Fairfax County School Board voted to retain. For a list of all the school bell schedule adjustments, visit http://www.fcps.edu/news/start.htm.
