Parenting During the Pandemic

Thurs, Nov 12 at 12-1 pm

Did you know that over 70 percent of kids nationwide have reported struggling with mental health during the pandemic? Mark your calendars and plan to join us Thurs, Nov 12 at 12-1 pm for a virtual presentation on Parenting During the Pandemic.

McLean-based psychotherapist Jennifer Weaver, will provide insight into the range of heightened challenges, including depression, loneliness, lack of motivation, anxiety or lack of impulse control that teens are facing during this pandemic. She'll explain why teens are mostly keeping these feelings to themselves, and how parents can best support them during this difficult time.

Gift Cards for Langley Teachers & Staff

Parents, please consider donating gift cards to support the Langley teacher/staff raffle! Throughout the year, the PTSA holds raffles for teachers and staff who've joined the PTSA, and donations from Langley families are key to the raffles’ success. 

In the past, teachers/staff have greatly appreciated gift cards to stores such as Amazon, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts as well as local businesses. All gift cards are greatly appreciated, but a larger number of gift cards in small dollar amounts helps us hold more raffles. To donate gift cards, contact Kristen Simko at kristen.simko@gmail.com

FCPS New Parent Technology Help Desk and Other Support

To support families who are working with their children during distance learning, Fairfax County Public Schools is launching a new Parent Technology Help Desk, effective Monday, August 24. The number is 1-833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS). It will be answered by staff 7 a.m.to 11 p.m., seven days a week. If the help desk is unable to solve the issue on the phone with the parent or guardian, they will enter a ticket on the parent’s behalf and the request for help will be transferred to the appropriate FCPS team. 

​

Parents or guardians who need help in a language other than English should let help desk staff know, and a interpreter will join them on the line. (FCPS also has existing parent information phone lines, available in eight different languages, that can assist with general questions about FCPS.)

​

FCPS has also set up an online portal to allow older students and parents and guardians to request technology help directly. 

​

The Courtyard Has Trees!

When students (eventually!) return to Langley,

a greener courtyard awaits!  Wheat's just completed

Phase 1 of the main courtyard landscaping project,

which includes an abundance of trees, shrubs, and

plants.  Many thanks to the hundreds of Langley

families who donated a leaf to the Langley Legacy

Tree to support the project.

​

Help Transform Langley's Courtyards:

Buy a "Leaf" for the Courtyard Legacy Tree Fundraiser

​

If you haven't yet donated, now's your chance! We still have an empty Science Courtyard that needs landscaping. Donate a leaf to the Langley Legacy Tree, the beautiful wall sculpture that is "growing" in Langley’s lobby (across from the main office). The Legacy Tree is a permanent and prominent record of generous courtyard contributors. Choose your engraved message — leaves make wonderful tributes to students, teachers, family and friends! Giving levels are copper leaf ($50), silver leaf ($100), gold leaf ($200) and acorn or bird ($500).  Questions Email chrissielavin1@gmail.com
