“LIKE”
An IndieFlix Original Documentary
Thursday, October 10, 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the Langley High School Auditorium
Tuesday, October 15, 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the McLean High School Auditorium
Are You Using Technology or is Technology Using You?
Technology is here to stay and social media is a place to connect, share and express our feelings. It is also a place of self-comparison, constant fear of missing out and a way to channel our addictive tendencies, which can be harmful for mental health. What’s going on behind the screens? While we are more connected than ever, it’s hard to know if technology is helping us or hurting us, yet we do have a choice when it comes to managing the way we use technology.
As part of a yearlong focus on social media wellness, the Safe Community Coalition, in conjunction with the PTSAs of Langley High School and McLean High School invites you to a free community showing of the compelling new IndieFlix Original Documentary “LIKE” ― Thursday, October 10 in the Langley High School auditorium and Tuesday, October 15 in the McLean High School auditorium. Both showings are from 7:00-8:30 p.m. “LIKE” explores the social impact of social media on our lives and the effects of technology on the brain. The goal of the film is to educate, inspire and equip us to self-regulate. After the film, discussion will be led by Dr. Cliff Sussman, a DC-based psychiatrist and expert on helping people achieve a more balanced relationship with digital technology.
This event is free and recommended for adults and students of any age who have phones.

Wednesday, October 16- 2 hour early release (at 12:55 p.m.)
9th Grade Students- Focus on the 4 C's and Academic and Career Planning
Students will be engaged in several important conversations around our 4 C’s (Care, Connect, Celebrate and Commence) as we look at wellness, the LHS Honor Code, class elections and their own Academic and Career Plan through Naviance Student. These lessons will support students in their successful transition to high school and better prepare them for the next four years and beyond. We are especially excited about the opportunity to CONNECT and CELEBRATE as a class as we support community within the class of 2023.
10th and 11th Grade Students- PSAT Testing
For Sophomores and Juniors, the day will begin with Period 1 (30 minutes), followed by a 15 minute break. Testing begins promptly at 8:50, no students will be admitted to a test room after 9:15. Students with time accommodations will begin testing promptly at 8:10, those not at their test site by 8:30, will be unable to test with time accommodations, but may take the standard test beginning at 8:50. Students with time accommodations should arrange for after-test transportation as it is unlikely the test will be completed before bus departures at 12:55.
On test day all students are responsible for bringing 2-#2 pencils, and a calculator for use on the math section (see College Board Acceptable Calculator List), however the test is designed such that it can be taken without a calculator. Regrettably, there is not a supply of calculators available to be lent if a student fails to either bring a calculator or brings a non-approved calculator. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our testing coordinator, Ms. Jan Dabroski at jldabroski@fcps.edu.
12th Grade Students- Essay Writing Assistance
On Wed, Oct 16, LHS will host College Essay Writing assistance for seniors with English 12 teachers in Rooms 2425, 2427, 2627 and 2628 from 8:30 am-11:30 am on a first come, first served basis.
