This Week at Langley


WE NEED YOUR HELP! As we are preparing for the start of the school year, we must have course materials available for students. Student textbooks, and other school issued items (excluding laptops), must be returned before we can distribute course materials. Please make plans to drop off any outstanding school items you may have on Tuesday, August 11 from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Your assistance and partnership are greatly appreciated. 

Items should arrive in a paper bag with the students’ name, ID number, and bag contents listed on a sheet affixed to the bag. Please enter via the main parking lot entrance and proceed to the back of the school to entrance #10 (bus loop).

For everyone’s safety, we ask that masks be worn for drop off and prior to arrival, the bag should be placed in the vehicle trunk for retrieval.


Yearbooks

We are holding one last yearbook pick-up on Tuesday, August 11, 9am-12pm at door 10.  If you cannot make that date, please arrange for a friend or family member to pick it up for you.

Please follow the requirements below for curbside pick-up.

  • Wear a mask
  • Have your name on the dashboard
  • We will place the yearbook inside your trunk. Please unlock trunk when you arrive to the pick-up area.

1.    Plug the device into an outlet.

2.    Turn the device on and let it boot up.

3.    Ensure that the laptop is connected to the internet.

4.    Let the device sit for 30 minutes. No additional action is required.

5.    Do this once per week to ensure the laptop has the latest updates.
