Frequently Asked Questions

​

Why Are There Annual Class Dues?

FCPS has mandated that no dues be collected at this time due to being in a virtual environment. We will revisit this later in the year as appropriate.  The dues requested each of the four years at Langley are used to cover costs not paid for by Fairfax County. These include annual costs, such as the Homecoming T-shirts, class treats (doughnuts distributed a few times a year), class parent coffees, and the information packets handed out at the beginning of the year. But the larger and more important costs come during Junior and Senior years and include some prom costs and Senior events, including the class field trips (e.g., Hershey Park), senior picnic, Ethics Day, Senior video, Senior breakfast, and almost $40,000 in graduation costs, from caps & gowns to the venue itself, among numerous other costs.  By collecting Class Dues each year, and through various fundraising events, we are able to significantly lessen the cost to each family of these activities.

When will the directory be available?

Directories are distributed in November. Many parents find the mobile app the most useful way to access directory information. You can search by student or parent names and easily access address and phone numbers. Download the app to your phone today:  https://www.atozdirectories.com/login/. Use your login information provided/created when you updated your student’s information. Questions? Contact: langleydirectory@gmail.com

What is ANGP?

ANGP stands for All Night Grad Party. For 30 years, Langley Seniors have enjoyed a safe, fun all-night party after their graduation at Constitution Hall. The ANGP is sponsored by the LHS PTSA and hosted by an ANGP chair and committee of Senior parents.  Every LHS class provides volunteers to make the event a success. Freshmen parents setup, Sophomore parents decorate, Junior parents clean-up, and over 100 Senior parents organize and chaperone/work the event. 

Seniors/graduates attend from 11:00 PM on the night of graduation until 4:00 AM the following morning. The goal is to reduce the risk of teen drinking and drug use on graduation night, saving the lives of our teens and others in the community. ANGP provides our graduates a fun, safe, alcohol- and drug-free evening to celebrate one last time with all of their classmates. Historically, more than 90 percent of the graduating seniors attend.
