Dear Saxon Families,
Final touches are being made by staff in preparation for Tuesday’s distance learning kickoff. While we are disappointed that we can’t be with you physically, we remain committed to meeting students’ academic and emotional needs. Please check out the latest Greer’s Greetings to see what staff members have been up to since the school closure.
A distance learning page has been added to the school website to aid students with virtual learning. It is our hope that the tips and resources provided will prove useful for our school community as we transverse this new path together.
A huge thank you to Langley junior Brooke Van Beuren for the production of Greer's Greetings during the current school closure.
Fondly,
Kimberly Greer

On June 30 of each year, balances for all graduating seniors will no longer report in MySchoolBucks. Food and Nutrition Services will have access to balance files and if parents have not requested a transfer or refund by this date, they may still do so up to one year (to June 30 of the following year) using the above methods.
Parents are required to log into www.MySchoolBucks.com and from the homepage dashboard and click “Remove Student." Click the box under “Remove?” for the graduating student’s name.
CDC ON STRESS AND COPING
During this time of uncertainty stress and anxiety can escalate. Here are helpful tips from the CDC on stress and coping.

FCPS MENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION
With the governor’s order that Virginia schools remain closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, FCPS has mental health professionals available to respond to the social and emotional needs of students. Parents may schedule a 30-minute phone consultation with the school psychologist (Anna Davis) or school social worker (Catherine Kennedy), for yourself or for your student. This consultation provides an opportunity for parents to receive guidance on how to support their student’s emotional well-being during their time away from school. Student consultations will provide support and strategies to students who may be experiencing difficulties with anxiety, mood, behavior, or peer or family interactions during this unprecedented and challenging time. Information about community resources will also be made available. To schedule a phone consultation, parents should click the link below. This service is not intended to provide therapy or for mental health emergencies and if an emergency is suspected or indicated, please call 911. https://forms.gle/WKchwGnv4LkezQwG8
Now's the Time to Donate Your Leaf!
We're still planning to landscape Langley's main courtyard as soon as logistically possible. Just how gorgeous and green it will be depends upon how many donations are made ASAP. To help, donate a leaf-- or two!-- to the Langley Legacy Tree, the beautiful wall sculpture that is “growing” in the Langley Lobby. Another 40+ leaves and several birds were added to the tree right before the school closed.

Leaves make wonderful graduation gifts! About 100 of our seniors/soon-to-be grads already have a leaf inscribed in their honor. Leaves are also a great way to pay tribute to teachers, family and friends. Giving levels are copper leaf ($50), silver leaf ($100), gold leaf ($200), and acorn or bird ($500). With a $1,000+ donation, your family's name is included on the Courtyard Benefactor Plaque, which will be installed next to the Tree.
Click on ptsalangley.org to donate your tree leaves/acorns/birds.
