Character Day - October 31

Help Halley ES celebrate our love for literacy on Tuesday, October 31^st!  Students are invited to dress up as their favorite book character!  We encourage student to have their book with them – but it’s not required.

Please note that students will not be allowed to wear costume masks, costume face coverings, or caps in school.  In addition, we encourage students to leave props for their costumes at home (Please do not send any object to school that has sharp edges or resembles a weapon - this becomes an SR&R issue).

We look forward to seeing everyone's school spirit on Halloween day!

Vision and Hearing Screening

Vision and Hearing Screenings will be held for all Kindergarten and 3^rd Grade students on Tuesday, October 31^st.

The purpose of the screenings is to identify students who need further evaluation due to difficulty seeing the screening chart or hearing the screening tones. If your child wears eyeglasses, please be sure that glasses are at school on their screening day.

Parents will be notified by letter if screening results indicate that further evaluation is needed. Prompt follow-up with your health care provider is recommended as vision and hearing difficulties can interfere with learning.

If you have any questions, please contact the School Health Aide, Taisha Thompson, at 703-551-5710 or Taisha.Israel@fairfaxcounty.gov
