Survey for All Families closing today
On Monday, all FCPS parents/caregivers and middle and high school students received an email to participate in a voluntary and confidential survey. (Please check your spam folder if you have not received it.)
Questions refer to proposed changes to FCPS’ SR&R document for next year. This document outlines the rules that students are expected to follow, and guidelines for consequences if those expectations are not met. Possible changes include:
-
Universal Discipline: Charts will list consequences and supports for students. They will help ensure that two students of the same grade will be treated fairly and receive the same level of support.
-
Standards for In-School Suspensions of Students with Disabilities: Creating standards for how in-school suspensions are handled for students who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 Plan.
-
Accommodations for Multilingual Learner Student Statements: Providing translation accommodations when Multilingual Learner students provide statements about disciplinary incidents.
The survey will be open until Friday, February 20. Survey materials are available online.
In the coming weeks, FCPS will be administering the Student Experience Survey to all students in grades 3-12. It will help the school division better understand students’ experiences in our schools. It will take about 30 minutes and be completed during school hours on Wednesday, Feb. 25 at Hayfield Elementary School. If you would like to preview the survey, please see the preview available here: Student Experience Survey Preview.
If you do not want your child to participate in the survey, you may opt them out by completing and returning this form to the office: Student Experience Survey Opt-Out . You may also opt your child out by emailing Assistant Principal Seamus O'Connor at skoconnor@fcps.edu .
Thank you for supporting our efforts to make improvements in FCPS schools. If you have questions about the Student Experience Survey, please contact research@fcps.edu
Hayfield SCA will be collecting pantry and household items for Koinonia from February 18 – March 6 in celebration of Read Across America Week. We are looking for donations of the following items:
- paper towels
- dishwasher detergent
- cleaning supplies
- shampoo/conditioner
- toothpaste and toothbrushes
- bath soap
- toilet paper and tissues
The collection will end on Friday, March 6. Thank you for helping us support families in our community!
Our Scholastic Book Fair is coming to school March 9–13! Students, families, and teachers are all invited to shop for new books and fun learning items.
Bookfair Hours:
Students will preview the Book Fair on Monday, March 9 and bring home a wish list of books they would like to buy. We strongly recommend using eWallet. We will not be accepting personal checks or coins. Balances for cash payments will be rounded to the nearest dollar.
Parents and family members may visit anytime during the week to shop and credit cards may be used by adults only. Adults may also take their child out of lunch to shop together.
Support Classrooms
Teachers will create eWallet accounts to purchase books for their classroom libraries. They will share their links if you would like to donate. Any amount is appreciated and helps provide books for students for years to come.
We always need volunteers to help with shopping and working the cash registers. The more help we have ensures the children can get their books.
