Session II
How to be your Child’s
Executive Function Cheerleader
Friday, February 11th, 9:30-11am
Recording Available Below
\
Are you unsure of how to support your child in their quest to become better a student? Please come to our next Freshman Forum, Friday, February 11, 9:30am-11am, to hear The Study Pro's Debbie Rosen and Lindsey Thoms speak about executive functions skills and how you can be a supportive partner.
One of the great joys for a parent is to cheer our children on as they build new skills. When it comes to school, we praise the obvious skills such as doing well on a test or getting an A on a paper, but often miss the less obvious — but equally important — ones, such as overcoming challenges to get started on an assignment or adequately planning to finish a longer-term assignment on time. In this intriguing presentation by The StudyPro, they will share:
-
What Executive Functions (EF) skills are and why they matter
-
How to recognize and improve “missing skills” behind common school challenges
-
How to partner with your student to help build their EF skills
Improving Executive Function skills will help with focus, flexibility, and pushing through frustration. And that’s definitely something to cheer about

Photos for the Class of 2025 Slideshow!
It may seem like a long way off, but our students’ graduation will come sooner than you can imagine. One of the most memorable moments of Senior Week (the week leading up to graduation) is the Class Video that is viewed at the Senior Breakfast attended by seniors and their families.
We need your help!
We can’t be everywhere. However, YOU are always at the memorable moments of your child’s life and probably with a camera in hand! Please share those great shots with us. Our goal is to have every student and activity represented in our Senior Class Video!
Include only pictures of the Class of 2025 and only Langley High School events, i.e. sports, concerts, dances, theater, treat days, Saxon Time, and field trips (once these things can actually occur). Please send your photos to lhs2025photos@gmail.com. Thanks!
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the school hours?
Click here for information https://www.fcps.edu/return-school/schedules
Where can I find my child's bus route information?
Preliminary bus route details were emailed to parents on Friday, August 13 from the Office
of Transportation Services. From the email...
"Please note that the provided times are estimates and that buses may be delayed due to weather, traffic conditions, and a national and regional driver shortage. Please check the Here Comes the Bus (HCTB) app or FCPS School Bus Delays website for potential delays. Students are expected to be at their bus stop at least five minutes before the scheduled pickup time. A double back route assignment may require your bus schedule to be adjusted earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon. FCPS will send out a final bus schedule on August 19.
The route information and transportation intent for your child is always available and
current in your SIS ParentVue account. Click on the Student Info tab and scroll down to the transportation section. Routes will continue to adjust before August 23, 2021.
If no route information is provided in this message and your student is eligible for transportation, please review your transportation intent in your ParentVue account.
If you have not completed the transportation intent survey or need to change your
response, please complete the survey here: Transportation Intent Survey. Students who are eligible for transportation will be assigned to a route even if the survey is not completed. However, accurate ridership counts will assist with planning to ensure students can get to school on time. The survey will close on August 19, 2021. Changes after this date will need
to be made directly with your student’s school."
What if my child needs medication at school?
The School Health Aide will be available for medication drop-off in the school Health Room on Thursday, August 19 from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. or Friday, August 20 from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. If you have any questions contact Zach Bauer at zbauer1@fcps.edu.
All medications are required to have a medication authorization.
As needed, over-the-counter medications may be transported to school (directly to the clinic) after the first day by high school students, however the medication must be in the original unopened container and accompanied by an appropriate Medication Authorization. All prescription medications must be transported to school by a parent or designated adult.
How does my child get their school Laptop and/or PE Uniform ?
All students will be provided a school laptop. Computers will be distributed through English classes on August 23 and 24, 2021. PE Uniforms will be sold through Health & PE classes beginning the week of August 23. HPE teachers will give students more information during class.
What do I do if my child has laptop or other FCPS technology problems?
Go to the Parent and Student IT Support Portal to learn more or to create a help ticket. https://itweb.fcps.edu/itsupport/
Where are the Administrative Offices located?
To get to the school offices, enter at Door 1.
Where is Langley Hall and the Auditorium?
Many school events are held in Langley Hall or the Auditorium, both inside Door 14.
Where is Kiss n' Ride?

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.

Parent Start-Up Guide
Your One-Stop Tool for Jump Starting into Langley
(Most Recent update: 08/25/2021)
Welcome to Langley High School, Class of 2025 Parents and Guardians!!
A new school means lots of new information, which to be honest, can sometimes be a little overwhelming. To help our families on-board smoothly, your 2025 Class Parents have created the first-ever Langley Parent Start-Up Guide.
How to Use This Guide
Below are the top priority to-do items to ease the transition to Langley and to stay informed throughout the next four years. Yes, it looks long, but it's possible to work through the steps rather quickly. We suggest setting aside some time now to rapidly work through each step, and then returning to the various resources to learn more at your leisure. You will find the information and resources in this guide in several other places. Our goal was to put it all in one place.
