Attending school regularly helps students feel better about school and themselves. It is important that students attend school well rested and on time on scheduled testing dates. When reporting a student's full or partial day absence, please be specific about why your student will not attend school. FCPS must record student attendance every day school is in session.
Full-day absences may be submitted through SIS ParentVUE. Please be sure to provide a reason for the absence and/or symptoms of illness as this information is shared with the County Health Department to across our community.
Keep an open line of communication with your school public health nurse, school staff, and teachers. The more the school knows about your child’s health needs, the better prepared everyone will be to work together to support your child.
- Dismissal changes should be sent by email or using the form on our school website and submitted to the office by 2:30 p.m. This form is for safety reasons and to ensure changes submitted are fulfilled in a timely manner.
- No student may be checked-out after 3:00 p.m. Pease arrive early.
- Bring your ID when coming to the building.
In FCPS, we all belong. From the first day of school, to the last day of school, every child matters. If your student is having a hard time finishing the year strong and attending school, please contact a trusted adult at our school — a teacher, counselor, or administrator. Visit FCPS’ website for more attendance resources.

The following immunizations are required for students entering 7th grade each school year.
All students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
- To meet the Tdap requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 7 or older.
- To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
- To meet the HPV requirement, the vaccination should be given between the ages of 11 to 12 or as early as 9 years old.
- As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child will not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to plan ahead by scheduling an appointment with your child’s health care provider now to avoid the rush this summer. Please consider getting your child’s immunizations early so that they can attend school in the fall. Summer is a busy time for families and healthcare providers. As long as your child meets the age requirements listed above, they can be immunized at any time.
Immunization Events for FCPS Students
FCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will provide school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students at no out-of-pocket cost. Multiple events will take place at designated FCPS locations.
Dates will be made available throughout the school year. Parents or guardians may view upcoming events and schedule an appointment for their student. Participation is voluntary. Additional immunization resources are also available.
Sixth graders will take their group panoramic picture on May 11, 2026.

Class Placement: Parent/Guardian Input (Optional) for Current K-5 Students or New Students for Next Year – Due Friday, May 8
As we begin planning for the upcoming school year, Hayfield Elementary staff will be creating tentative class groupings this spring. Final classroom assignments will be shared in mid-August.
In developing class placements, we carefully consider a variety of factors, including:
- Individual student information
- Teacher input
- Social relationships
- A balanced mix of students with diverse needs, personalities, and learning styles
Due to the many variables involved in building well-balanced classrooms—including staffing considerations—we are unable to accommodate requests for specific teachers.
If there is information you would like us to consider regarding your child’s placement, please complete this form by Friday, May 8, at 4:00 PM. If you do not have additional input to share, there is no need to complete the form. https://forms.gle/JEaerGrBDU5vGxGj6.
Note: To keep the process organized, this form is the only way to submit parent input, as we cannot accept individual emails regarding class placement.
Our goal is to create supportive, well-rounded classroom communities where all students can thrive.
Best,
Dr. Tempel-Milner and Mr. O’Connor

Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of March, providing information on their SEL skills like achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
Individual student SEL Screener results are now available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, we will share copies with you directly.
For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or reach out to our school staff with any questions.
