Please be reminded of the Cell Phone Policy for FCPS Elementary Schools.
Phones must be silenced and in backpacks for the duration of the school day. Watches that serve a dual purpose (e.g. smart watch) may be worn; however, phone features (e.g. texting, Internet, calls, etc.) are to be off when phone use is prohibited. Students are prohibited from using phones, tablets, and other mobile devices in restrooms and locker rooms, unless there is a medical necessity or emergency. With the approval of the principal or their designee, teachers may allow usage of cell phones for instructional activities where they are the most appropriate tool; however, one-to-one FCPS devices should meet most needs. Cell phones may be used on campus before and after school only. Violations of this policy could result in confiscation of the item.
Effective January 6, 2025, on two-hour early release days, temporary transportation changes must be received by 12:30 p.m. and students may not be checked out after 1:00 p.m.
On three-hour early release days, temporary transportation changes must be received by 11:30 a.m., and students may not be checked out after 12:00 p.m.
And as a reminder, on normal school days, temporary transportation changes must be received by 2:30 p.m., and students may not be checked out after 3:00 p.m.
Temporary transportation changes must be made through the online transportation form.
As it gets closer to dismissal time, it is very challenging trying to reach teachers for last minute transportation changes, and safety is our number one concern as we want to be sure that we are sending all students home in the correct way. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
January 9th, 6-8pm, HSS Auditorium
Rising 7th grade parents and guardians will have the opportunity to participate in curriculum night at Hayfield Secondary School on January, 9th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the HSS auditorium. There will also be additional information sessions available for families in the upcoming months. Please see the flyer below from the Hayfield Middle School student services team. You should have also received a field trip form in your student’s Thursday folder for our visit to the middle school on January 15th. This will be a time for students to hear about the different courses and activities available and participate in a tour of the building led by current students and staff. Please ensure that you return this form so that your student may participate.
Thank you!
Erin Smith, School Counselor
