Frequently Asked Questions

 

​

What is MySchoolBucks?

It is a website used by FCPS and school systems nationwide to collect payments online for school meals, after-school programs, athletic fees, and more.  With MySchoolBucks parents can easily add money to their student's accounts, check balances and recent purchases, and set up notifications for upcoming payments all conveniently online.

​

Why Are There Annual Class Dues?

The dues that are requested each of the four years at Langley and are used to cover costs not paid for by Fairfax County.  They 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 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 fund raising events, we are able to significantly lessen the cost to each family of these activities.

When is the directory available?

Directories were distributed to students in early November (via 3rd period teacher).  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 party all-night 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 cleanup, and over 100 Senior parents organize and chaperone/work the event. 

 

Graduating seniors attend from 11:00PM on the night of graduation until 4:00AM 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.
