Hayfield Elementary Students are invited to show their team spirit by wearing their favorite team jersey on Friday, November 13! We look forward to seeing everyone represent their favorite teams! |
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development and differentiated instruction. A continuum of Advanced Academic Program (AAP) services is available to students in Grades K-12 and is designed to match services to each student’s unique academic needs.
Identification for Subject-Specific and Part-Time AAP services occurs throughout the school year. Full-Time AAP services have a identification cycle:
-
Spring identification: Any FCPS student in Grades 2-7 may be referred by December 15, 2026.
FCPS uses ability testing as one consideration in the holistic identification process for AAP services.
- All students in Grade 2 take the Naglieri General Ability Tests (NGAT).
- Students in Grades 3-6 who do not have a multi-domain ability test score take the NGAT.
For more information, please contact Avery Rothman, AART, at agrothman@fcps.edu or visit the FCPS Advanced Academic Programs website.
This Week's Update
-
Monster's Ball: Thank you for supporting this year's Monster's Ball! The event had to be moved inside due to the possibility of inclement weather, and we appreciate your flexibility. We had 624 attendees come through our doors, raised $1,561 in ticket sales, $350 in generous sponsor donations, and $160 in school spirit wear. Your extraordinary support goes towards teacher mini-grants (which the PTA awarded to teachers last week); helps the PTA organize future events for our community; ensures every student receives a Yearbook; and covers expenses for field trips and other activities for those in economic need.

Reflections Art Contest: Hayfield's wonderful art teacher Mrs. Halvorson has been promoting this contest during art class. Parents should have received a registration form and information in their Thursday folders. All submissions must support the theme "What my Culture Means to Me." Submissions of artwork, literature, or photography are due on Friday, November 6. Students (or parents) can drop-off the artwork at a box in the Hayfield front office or can send them to PTA Secretary Olga Bashbush via email at secretary@hespta.com. All registration forms with the student's short statement of how their artwork fits this year's theme should be emailed to Mrs. Bashbush.
