Dear Langley High School Parents,

New mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) were adopted by Virginia in 2009, implemented during the 2011-12 school year, and will be assessed for the first time this spring. Initial data indicates that the changes in Virginia’s new mathematics SOL assessments have resulted in a change in student pass rates across the state.

Click SOL MATH INFORMATION for additional information.

“Student Parking Hang Tag Applications for the Academic Year 2012-2013” and “Langley High School Parking Rules and Regulations” will be made available Tuesday, May 8, 2012, and must be turned in to the main office no later than Friday, May 25. No Exceptions!
Parking Hang Tags will be issued to rising Seniors and to a limited number of rising Juniors, all of whom must meet the deadline in submitting appropriate forms, have acceptable academic performance and attendance records, and no disciplinary infractions. Juniors will be selected by lottery, and there will be no Sophomore parking available. All drivers must be registered with Langley High School. Your student’s application will not be accepted unless ALL of the information is completed on BOTH sides of the form. Rising Seniors must understand that parking is not an automatic entitlement, and ALL students must comply with the deadline!

GREAT FALLS 5K RACE FOR HESS FAMILY:  Gianna Hess has been named the 2012 race beneficiary for the 5k Race in Great Falls by The Joe Cassella Foundation, whose mission is to offer financial assistance to those families with overwhelming medical bills.  Our community has an opportunity to support beloved Langley teacher and coach, Travis Hess, and his family, because his 16-month-old daughter, Gianna, is battling a rare form of liver cancer called hepatoblastoma that affects 1 in 1 million children per year.
