AP INFORMATION
Important information for AP Testing and FAQ can be found at https://langleyhs.fcps.edu/student-services/student-testing/ap-questions-and-answers.
AP Exam Schedule can found here. Please note that most exams are 3+ hours in length which do not take into account instructions, breaks, and handing out/collecting of materials. If you are taking an afternoon exam, chances are students will not be finished before the end of the school day to catch the bus. Bus riders need to make arrangements for rides on the day of afternoon exams.
Did you know… According to data collected by the American Psychological Association for the Stress in America Survey, teen stress rivals that of adults. For teens, the most commonly reported sources of stress are school (83 percent), and getting into a good college or deciding what to do after high school (69 percent). Here are 10 stress management techniques, which include good sleep, exercise and healthy eating. https://www.verywellmind.com/top-school-stress-relievers-for-students-3145179

May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Did you know that our very own Fairfax County Youth Survey shows how every adult can make a difference and foster resilience and protective factors in our youth? As we recognize the need for positive mental health, please know that FCPS has compiled many resources in an effort to support our children.

MySchoolBucks
Please remember to add money to your child’s school nutrition account. All accounts must be brought current before the end of the school year in June. Visit MySchoolBucks.
Learn more about this online payment portal for many school fees. Parents can set up an account which they link their student(s) to so there is one account per family. Course fees, lunch funds, obligations, some ticket events can be taken care of online. MySchoolBucks eliminates the need for students to carry cash to school and for multiple checks to be written.
Seniors
To avoid long lines to clear their records at the time of graduation rehearsal (textbooks, parking tickets, class dues, library obligations, etc.), it is strongly recommended that you settle any financial obligations prior to leaving for Langley Leap.
If you have any questions please contact Ms. Kimsey at lakimsey@fcps.edu.
SUMMER READING FUN
Summer should be a time to rest and recharge for the next school year. This LibGuide doesn't contain assignments or required reading but rather a group of places to find books, reading lists, challenges and recommendations. Pick up a challenge and see how many books you can read that fit it. Look through lists and find something new you never thought about reading. Visit libraries, museums and bookstores for events. Check out our staff picks, read one and talk with a staff person when you return! Reading can be a great way to relax and enjoy the summer. Whether you are sitting by the pool or traveling or using a print book, ebook or audiobook, a book can always accompany you. Have a wonderful summer!

All completed/signed applications will be limited to rising seniors, applications for rising juniors will not be accepted at this time. In the fall, if spaces are available for limited junior parking, information for a lottery will be made available with applications accepted at that time.
Payment for the parking hang tag ($200) will be accepted beginning mid-July through www.myschoolbucks.com . Checks will no longer be accepted. All unpaid parking tickets and school obligations must be paid prior to applying/receiving a hang tag.

LOST AND FOUND
Missing a jacket or sweatshirt? It may be in Langley’s very large lost & found collection. Please stop by the lost and found box located in the cafeteria.
Give a gift that lasts
Need a graduation gift? Teacher gift? A thank you to a great coach or mentor? Give a gift that lasts -- a leaf on the Legacy Tree! You choose the perfect engraving! The Legacy Tree will soon be up in Langley's front entrance (across from the office) for all to enjoy for years to come. Donating a leaf (copper $50, silver $100, gold $200) or bird or acorn ($500), is a great way to pay tribute to your favorite people. But hurry! Wheat's Landscaping landscape architects are working on the courtyard renovation plans now. The more metallic leaves on the Legacy Tree, the more actual leaves there will be in the courtyards.
To order your leaf -- or leaves! -- visit the PTSA website, ptsalangley.org.
