Transfers for 2019-2020 School Year
If your children are transfer students at Haymarket Elementary currently, or your family will be living outside the boundaries and you would like your child to attend Haymarket for the 2019-2020 school year it is time to do the paperwork. Student transfers are granted for a period of one year and then a new application must be filed for the upcoming year. Transfers are granted to accommodate the parents/guardians of elementary school children when both parents are employed full-time outside the home and it is necessary for someone in a different school attendance area to care for the student before and/or after school. A transfer to another school is considered a privilege. If a request for a transfer is denied, the parent/guardians have the opportunity to appeal a request in writing,and send to the principal of the school. It will then be forwarded to the Supervisor of Student Services where the case will be reviewed by the Director of Student Services. The decision of the Director of Student Services is final. Parent must submit the Transfer Request form to the base school principal beginning January 2nd and no later than April 30th. Transfer forms may be picked up at Haymarket Elementary from the main office.
Retention
Parents of students being considered for retention in their current grade will be notified by the classroom teacher and a phone or in person conference will be held before January 30, 2019. Prince William County School System requires that a formal notice be sent at the end of the 2nd grading period to families of students who are being considered for retention. It does not mean your child is definitely going to be retained. The final decision about retention is not made until May. If you have questions please contact your child’s classroom teacher.
