Join us to say THANK YOU to the dedicated Hayfield Elementary School teachers and staff who serve our students with pride and compassion every day. We are #PublicSchoolProud for Public Schools Week 2025!

Public Schools Week is an annual celebration that brings together school leaders, educators, parents & community leaders to recognize the importance of our nation’s public schools.



Ramadan graphic


Ramadan begins at sundown on Friday, February 28. This day is an evening-only observance day. There is school on these days, but certain activities that cannot be made up can not take place after school. See the complete school year calendar.

Throughout the year, as we celebrate and recognize various cultural holidays and observances, families are encouraged to contact Principal Jessica Lewis regarding accommodations, including but not limited to those around lunch, prayer/meditation and silent reflection spaces and times, and instruction. 



Student Fasting Meal Kits

February 28 - March 28

Thanks to a new program from the Virginia Department of Education, students who are fasting during the school day between February 28 and March 28 can now take school meal kits home at the end of the day.  Families will need to fill out a weekly Fasting Meals Request Form for their child or children to receive school meal kits.  A separate form must be filled out for each week and each student.  To receive meal kits for Friday, February 28, and the week of March 3, please submit the first request form by Monday, February 24.  Visit the FNS webpage for more information, including weekly request forms and deadlines.
