To celebrate the end of the 2nd quarter, we will be having an HES Spirit Day on Thursday, January 25. Wear any of your favorite Hayfield/orange and blue outfits to show your school spirit! |
In the Orthodox church, Epiphany is celebrated on January 19 and commemorates the baptism of Jesus rather than the arrival of the Magi. It is believed that Christ's baptism by John the Forerunner (John the Baptist) in the River Jordan began Christ's ministry on earth and revealed the Holy Trinity of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to mankind. The school calendar recognizes many religious and cultural observances (O days) during the school year. There is school on these days, however, the School Board has directed that tests, quizzes, field trips, graduation, homecoming, or FCPS-scheduled athletic events will not be held on these observance days. See the complete school year calendar.
February 5-9 is National School Counseling Week, and highlights the tremendous impact school counselors have in helping students achieve academic success and planning for a career.School counselors work with students in a variety of different capacities, whether it is through classroom lessons, group sessions, or individual counseling. Learn more about the role of school counselors in FCPS.
Please join Jessica Lewis, Principal, and Seamus O'Connor, Assistant Principal for the opportunity to have an open dialogue about all things HES. Light refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP and add your questions/thoughts using this link no later than January 26.
