We are excited to celebrate the end of the school year approaching with our Blacktop Bash on Friday, May 29! Free admission with fun extras available for purchase.
This will be a fun opportunity for our students, families, teachers, and school community to come together and celebrate a great year at Hayfield Elementary. To help make the event a success, we are looking for volunteers who would be willing to serve before, during, or after the celebration.
Volunteers may be asked to help with setup, games, welcoming families, supervising activity areas, cleanup, or general support throughout the event. Whether you are able to help for the whole event or just part of the time, we would be grateful for your support.
Thank you for helping us make this a fun and memorable end of the year celebration for our students!

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 1:20 p.m. on June 17. Any medication not picked up, will be destroyed according to FCPS regulation.

Please Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance
It’s a busy time of year, and we know many priorities are on your plate. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to check your student’s MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance.
Free and Reduced-Price Meals
Families who earn less than 185% of the poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals (FRM). However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2026-27 school year will be available this summer.
If you have a current balance and think you may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2025-26 school year.
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 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. on the SAME day of the change please. 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.
Help Keep Hayfield Elementary Phone-Free!
FCPS’ cell phone policy helps students focus, learn, and engage. When students put their phones away, they have more face-to-face interactions with their peers and teachers and more opportunities to develop resilience and problem-solving skills. Please remind your child that:
-
Cell phones and personal devices (earbuds, headsets, other items connected to the internet) must be off and away for the entire school day (bell to bell).
-
Smart watches that serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited.
If you need to contact your child during the school day, please call our front office at (703) 924-4500.
Visit FCPS’ cell phone policy webpage for more information and answers to frequently asked questions, including consequences for cell phone policy violations and exceptions for students with medical conditions or IEP/504 plans.
