Good morning, Haydon Hawk Families!

Haydon Elementary School will conduct a lockdown drill on Tuesday, August 18. Prior to the drill, teachers will review lockdown procedures with students in an age-appropriate manner, including how to secure their classroom and what to do during a lockdown. During the drill, classroom doors will be closed and locked, and students and staff will remain quiet and follow established safety procedures.

Please know that this is a planned practice drill designed to ensure that our students and staff are prepared to respond safely and appropriately in the event of an emergency.

This notification is being provided in accordance with Virginia Code, which requires schools to notify families at least 24 hours prior to conducting a lockdown drill.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to keep all Haydon Hawks safe.






¡Buenos días, familias de Haydon Hawk!

La escuela primaria Haydon realizará un simulacro de confinamiento el martes 18 de agosto. Antes del simulacro, los maestros revisarán los procedimientos de confinamiento con los estudiantes de una manera apropiada para su edad, incluyendo cómo asegurar su salón de clases y qué hacer durante un confinamiento. Durante el simulacro, las puertas de las aulas estarán cerradas y con seguro, y los estudiantes y el personal deberán permanecer en silencio y seguir los procedimientos de seguridad establecidos.

Tenga en cuenta que este es un simulacro de práctica planificado diseñado para garantizar que nuestros estudiantes y personal estén preparados para responder de manera segura y apropiada en caso de una emergencia.

Esta notificación se proporciona de acuerdo con el Código de Virginia, que requiere que las escuelas notifiquen a las familias al menos 24 horas antes de realizar un simulacro de confinamiento.

Gracias por su continua colaboración mientras trabajamos juntos para mantener seguros a todos los Haydon Hawks.

Dear Haydon Families,


We are so excited to welcome our students for the first day of school tomorrow! As we prepare for a great start to the school year, please keep these few reminders in mind:

  • Please send your student to school with a backpack and refillable water bottle.

  • Bus rider families: Please arrive at the bus stop 5–10 minutes before the scheduled pick-up time. We also appreciate your patience during the first few days of school. Buses may run a little behind schedule as students, families, and drivers get settled into their new routines.

  • Walkers and Kiss & Ride families: Parents and guardians will not be able to enter the building to walk students to their classrooms. Our staff will be ready to greet students and help them get where they need to go.

We know that sending your child off on the first day—especially for the very first time—can bring a mix of excitement and nervousness. Please know that we will be ready to welcome your children with care, help them feel comfortable, and make sure they have a wonderful first day.

We can’t wait to see our Haydon Hawks tomorrow!

Working for all students with energy and optimism!

Estimadas familias de Haydon,


¡Estamos muy emocionados de dar la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes mañana, primer día de clases! Mientras nos preparamos para un excelente comienzo del año escolar, les pedimos que tengan en cuenta estos recordatorios:

  • Por favor, envíe a su hijo/a a la escuela con una mochila y una botella de agua reutilizable.

  • Familias que utilizan el autobús escolar: Les pedimos que lleguen a la parada entre 5 y 10 minutos antes de la hora de recogida programada. Agradecemos su paciencia durante los primeros días de clase. Es posible que los autobuses se retrasen un poco mientras los estudiantes, las familias y los conductores se adaptan a sus nuevas rutinas.

  • Familias que acompañan a los estudiantes a pie o en el servicio de recogida y bajada: Los padres y tutores no podrán entrar al edificio para acompañar a los estudiantes a sus aulas. Nuestro personal estará listo para recibir a los estudiantes y ayudarlos a llegar a su destino.

Sabemos que el primer día de clases de su hijo/a, sobre todo si es la primera vez, puede generar una mezcla de emoción y nerviosismo. Tenga la seguridad de que estaremos listos para recibir a sus hijos con cariño, ayudarlos a sentirse cómodos y asegurarnos de que tengan un primer día maravilloso.


¡Estamos deseando ver a nuestros Haydon Hawks mañana!


¡Trabajando por todos los estudiantes con energía y optimismo!
