Dear Hayfield Families,
We are excited to begin the 2024-2025 school year with you and welcome our students back to the NEST! We hope you have had a wonderful summer and are ready for the new school year to begin! There is a lot of information we would like to share with you so everyone is prepared for all of our back-to-school activities. We will continue to communicate over these next few weeks to keep you up-to-date. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our main office with questions.
First Day Arrival
The first day of school is Monday, August 19. Parents may walk their students to their classroom on the first day of school. Walkers and car riders can enter the building at 8:20 AM. Please do not drop off your child before the start of school. The school day will begin at 8:35 AM and end at 3:20 PM. Bus riders enter/exit the building at door #1, walkers enter/exit at door #3, and kiss-and-ride students enter/exit at door #2.
Lunch with your Child(ren)
To ensure school staff have time to teach and reinforce cafeteria routines and procedures, we will be delaying the visitation of family members during lunch until October 1.
Class Assignments
Students’ individual classroom teacher assignments will be available in SIS ParentVUE beginning at 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 15. We are still registering students; therefore, we are unable to finalize class rosters until that time. As Hayfield ES is a dedicated Professional Learning Community, teachers at every grade level collaborate interdependently throughout the school year to support the academic and social-emotional achievement of all students. All teachers are highly qualified and were selected as members of the Hayfield ES staff because they meet the high standards and expectations we have in our community. We appreciate your support of our talented teachers.
We look forward to seeing you very soon! Enjoy these last few days of summer!

As you may have heard, a requirement for Elementary Teachers (classroom, special education, and ESOL) from the Virginia Literacy Act includes approximately 27 hours of asynchronous training focused on the Science of Reading and evidenced-based literacy during the 2024-2025 school year. As a result, Fairfax County Public Schools has planned for 7 early release Mondays starting in September.
Please note the dates and times for your calendars listed below. These dates only apply to elementary school-age students.
Hayfield Elementary will begin dismissal at 12:20 pm on the following days:
- September 16
- October 21
- November 18
- Februray 10
- March 10
- April 21
- May 12
FCPS has created a webpage to provide detailed information about the early release Mondays.
Back-to-School Extravaganza:
This will be an informal event prior to the start of school for students and families to tour the building, meet and greet teachers, collect general information about classes and programs, meet new friends in class, drop off school supplies, and have acess to information about extracurricular activities. Our PTA will also be available. You may visit HES any time between 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. on this day.
Back-to-School Night: This event will provide a structured opportunity for parents and guardians to meet with teachers and learn important detailed information about academic outcomes for each subject, curriculum changes, expectations for the school year, supports for students, communication methods for parents, and more. More information regarding scheduling will be sent in future newsletters.
Student consent forms currently available on ParentVue will be moved to the Parent Digital Consent System (PDC). Families can log into the PDC using their ParentVue credentials to complete consent forms assigned to their child. If you have a new ParentVue account, you must wait 24 hours after it is created to use the PDC.
