Hayfield Elementary School

My children attended Hayfield Elementary from K-6. A lot of the same teachers are still there working. The staff is caring and go above and beyond to help out students and parents. I would recommend Hayfield to anyone.

My daughter been in this school since 2nd grade she’s in 6 now the teachers go above and beyond to help the kids out.

We moved and will never look back.

I love the school for learning. My kids have made many friends and feel included. Unfortunately I do not feel welcome with PTA. Over the past 2 years I’ve signed up to volunteer, get someone to watch my kids, show up and have been told I’m not needed after all. Then they turn and continue their conversation. New ideas have not been welcome. I’ve witnessed new ideas presented or ways to improve events and then the person get verbally jumped for “being negative” or how the volunteers work so hard and don’t deserve to be attacked. I’ve never seen anyone attack the way things are. I have seen constructive suggestions to improve and a willingness to help, but it’s shot down. I’ve even been willing to just work and not try to offer suggestions for improvement but when I show up to work my time, I’m not needed. One year I offered to be on the board and shared my abilities but was only offered jobs that don’t fit with my abilities. I don’t look like most of them, but my English is good. I’m not welcome, but I hear all the time how they need volunteers and help. I have even heard specific parents discussed for not volunteering. I wish the PTA was more inclusive with all parents from all cultures and backgrounds. For now I am generous to my kids’ teachers to be a support. Also the new PTA website is not as easy to use and hard to sign up. The old one was nicer.

Ok at best. Small school so not a lot of cliques but not all children are welcomed equally
