Spring Picture Day is Wednesday, March 19th! Please note that class pictures are also taken on this date. Order forms were sent home in Thursday folders this week so be sure to check those backpacks!
Get2Green is an FCPS environmental stewardship program. Here at Hayfield, we are working to make a positive impact on our environment through recycling initiatives and gardening projects. In the fall, we worked on weeding and cleaning up some of our outdoor spaces. In the spring, we will host a series of events to weed and plant in our garden spaces.
Students in grades 4-6 are invited to participate. If interested, students should request a participation form from their teacher to be returned to Ms. Taylor (5th grade) or Mr. Pitts (P.E.) at least one week prior to the next scheduled event.
Our next three events will take place on the following dates: Wednesday, March 26; Wednesday, April 9; and Thursday, May 1. Students may sign up for one, two, or all three of the days. Families must be able to pick up their students at 4:30 p.m., unless the student is enrolled in SACC.
Get ready for Kindergarten Orientation on Tuesday, April 1st at 9:00 a.m.
