FCPS has mandated that all FCPS student laptops and chargers be returned so that they can be serviced and updated for redistribution for the 2024-2025 school year. On Wednesday, June 12, the last day of school, each classroom will return all technology equipment. Students who do not turn in their equipment will be charged $472 for a laptop/iPad.
The only exceptions are for students enrolled in a summer school program/ESY who need their laptop/iPad to participate. If your child is identified for this, his/her laptop/iPad and charger will be sent home on the last day of school. Please direct any questions you have about the laptop return process to your child’s classroom teacher, including inquiries about financial replacement for missing laptops or chargers.
All library books are due back to the school library on Wednesday, May 29th. Please take a moment to gather any books you have and return them to the library. Overdue notices will be sent out weekly starting May 29th. If you can’t find a book, you may either replace it or pay for it by using MySchoolBucks or by writing a check made payable to Hayfield Elementary. If you think the book has been returned, but you got a notice stating otherwise, please check with Ms. Ergler (waergler@fcps.edu) in the library to make sure that it is there.
As we approach the end of the school year, please keep the following in mind: If your child has medication in the health room, a parent/guardian must pick it up by 2 p.m. on June 12. Any medication not picked up, will be destroyed according to FCPS regulation.
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. As we make these placements, we consider many factors including individual student information, teacher input, and social relationships.

If you have information that you believe is pertinent to your child’s placement for next year, please complete this form by Friday, May 31. If you have multiple children, please complete a separate form for each child. There is no need to complete the form if you do not have any information you would like us to consider. Requests for specific teachers will not be honored.
