SOL Score Reporting

We are so proud of our students and teachers in grades 3- 6 on the completion of their SOL tests. This week completed SOL retakes for students who qualified. The SOL window will officially close for all testing Friday, May 27..

After each Standards of Learning (SOL) testing window, student results are verified and submitted to the Virginia Department of Education. Once this verification process is complete, scores are available for official reporting to parents. SOL scores will be made available to parents via ParentVUE in the Student Information System.

 If you need a ParentVUE account, please contact the office at HayfieldESOffice@fcps.edu  


Teacher Requests at HES for the 2022-2023 School Year

As we begin planning for the next school year, one of our most challenging tasks is creating class groupings. It is very important to have balanced classes that reflect the diversity of our students. These decisions are made with input from your child’s current teacher. We ask parents who have special considerations to submit their requests in writing, telling us about your child’s learning style, strengths and weaknesses. You may also want to list characteristics of a teacher that would best match your student’s needs. Requests for specific teachers will not be honored. All requests should be emailed to jrlewis@fcps.edu. The deadline for submitting requests is the last day of school for students (June 10). We appreciate, in advance, your support and cooperation with this process.


End of Year Medication Pickup

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school (June 10). Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. However, with parent or guardian permission, a high school student may transport over-the-counter medications to and from the school health room.

Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school. Please be sure medication orders are clear. All information on the form must be completed. Part I must be signed and dated by the parent or guardian. Part II must be signed and dated by your physician. Over-the-counter medication given for headache, muscle pain, orthodontic pain, or menstrual cramps and antibiotic or anti-viral medication do not need a physician signature. More detailed information is available on the back of the medication authorization form.

Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container and clearly labeled by the parent or guardian. All prescription medication, including physician’s samples, must be labeled by the pharmacist or physician. Please make sure that the label clearly states your student’s name, the name of the medication, the dosage of the medication, and the time interval for administration.

If your child will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, your existing long-term medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).

Your cooperation will ensure that we can safely give your student his or her medication. If you have any questions, please contact your school health room aide, at 703-924-4510, or your school public health nurse at 703-704-6128. Thank you for your cooperation and have a good summer.

For Our Military Families

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is observed with the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.

 

Annual National Moment of Remembrance

Each year on Memorial Day a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time. At this time, every citizen is encouraged to pause for one minute to remember the brave men and women who died in service to our nation.
