Families:

• LHS strongly suggests that parents drop their graduates off at Langley on Wednesday.

• The bus is only taking the graduates TO the ceremony – they will not be transported back to Langley. If they drove themselves to the school, you will need to go back after the ceremony to get the car.

• Because they will not have their cell phones with them at DAR, pre-arrange a meeting spot for after the ceremony.

• Get the street address, directions, and a map from the DAR website: http://www.dar.org. 

• Metered street parking is very limited. Additional parking is available at: Colonial Parking, located at 1800 G Street, NW. We recommend reserving a spot in advance: https://www.ecolonial.com/park-with-us/parking-locator/?detail=1&loc=en&id=1057. If there are no spots available at Colonial, try a parking spot reservation app such as Spot Hero.
