Purple Star School Recognition

Purple Star School Recognition

Hayfield Elementary has been recognized as a Purple Star School, indicating that we are a military-friendly school that has demonstrated our commitment to meeting the needs of military-connected students and their families. We received this recognition by the Virginia Department of Education.

To qualify for a Purple Star, schools must have a trained staff member as a primary point of contact for military families and students who also serve as a liaison between the school and local military communities. Schools must also demonstrate their commitment to meeting the needs of military students by providing resources and programming on issues important to military families, such as transitions and academic planning.

Our primary points of contact for military families and students are Lisa Warden, lbwarden@fcps.edu, and Florence Newsome, Fnewsome@fcps.edu.
