🏖️ Beach Day at Hatfield was a splash of fun!
Students were immersed in Beach Day excitement all day long—from beach-themed classroom activities to ocean vibes in the cafeteria at lunch and bounce house fun in the gym!
A huge thank you to our incredible Hatfield teachers for making this day so memorable for our students, and to the Burris–Hatfield PTO for helping us celebrate with bounce houses. Shout out as well to our amazing Hatfield office staff for keeping Happy Hatfield running smoothly on a wild (and wonderful!) day like today…as you can see from our annual Beach Day end-of-day picture! 😄
Hatfield families, enjoy your Spring Break! We’ll see everyone back at school on March 23rd. 🌴🌊

Important Update, Hatfield Families – No School on Monday, February 16th!

Because the waiver was granted, we will NOT need to make up that snow day. As a result, school will NOT be in session on Monday, February 16th.
Enjoy the long weekend, Hatfield!
