Greetings Hayfield Families!
We hope you and your students are settling in to new routines, schedules, and norms now that the school year is underway. This newsletter is brought to you from our Student Services department, and hopes to provide resources and announcements/reminders to support our students' Academic, College/Career, and Social/Emotional Growth.
Reminder: Health Information and Emergency Care Forms
The Health Information Form (HIF) (SS/SE -71) Health Information Form and the Emergency Care Information form (SS/SE-3) Emergency Care Information provide valuable information regarding student health conditions. These forms are critical in the early identification of students who may need healthcare support in the educational environment. Along with the development of Healthcare Plans (HCP) and Action Plans, the Public Health Nurses (PHNs) utilize the information contained in the HIF to develop teaching strategies for FCPS staff in order to meet the requirements of Regulation 2104 Health Services-School Health Related Needs.
For SY 21-22, these forms will be required for all students. Parents/guardians may submit these forms either through electronic submission accessed within the weCare@school (weCare) module; or thorough Back to School packets for those families without ParentVue accounts.
Free and Reduced Priced Meals Program
As you may be aware, students can receive breakfast or lunch at no cost this year. Students and families who are eligible to benefit from this program are still encouraged to apply in order to be eligible for other fee waivers, such as lab / course fees, summer school tuition, etc. For more information about the program and the Consent to Share Information, visit FCPS Free and Reduced Priced Meals Program

NOVA’S DREAMERS WEBSITE TO LAUNCH THIS WEEK (HS)
NOVA is excited to unveil and encourage all to visit this updated website specifically dedicated to DREAMers–undocumented, DACA and TPS holders. This website was created to provide accurate and timely information to assist DREAMers as they navigate the admissions process.
Moreover, this revamped site also contains valuable information about services and supports that promote the success of immigrant students. Aligning with our priorities, it is our mission to be a more welcoming and inclusive institution to all our immigrant students. We also want to assist undocumented students in overcoming the obstacles that they often encounter as they navigate higher education.
