School Traffic Pattern - June 20 through mid-August
Starting June 20, cars will not be able to cut through the school from Sea Cliff/Davidson to Westmoreland and vice versa. If you are trying to park for the stadium or main gym, you should come through on the Westmoreland side. If you are coming to the main office you will only be able to enter through the Sea Cliff/Davidson side. This is due to a roofing project that will run through mid-August.
Summer Workshops
This summer, McLean will host two summer workshops for interested students. Workshops will be conducted either in-person or via Zoom. Interested students should register for the workshop(s) they plan to attend using this Google Form by June 15th. See details below for more information about offerings. Links for the virtual workshop will be sent to registrants prior to the first offering.
Narrative Writing in the College Essay Teachers will facilitate students in drafting an essay they could use as a basis for their college application process. This workshop is geared toward rising seniors only and will be conducted in-person.
We Don’t Talk About Braco Participants will watch a 20 minute scene from the Disney telenovela series "Violetta" on you tube. Students will then discuss the show in Spanish virtually and do follow up activities with the teacher. This workshop is for students entering Spanish 3, 4, or AP.
Summer College Application Workshop
Student Services is planning for our annual summer College Application Workshop! This summer workshop is for college-bound seniors to learn about the Common/Coalition Applications, how to write strong college essays, interview tips, and more! Guest speakers from reputable college admission committees will be in attendance to provide valuable college advice while also demystifying the application process. Since beginning our workshops, colleges have noted improved applications from McLean students. We are firm believers that the process can be far less stressful if students begin working on their applications before senior year begins.
College Applications Workshop (for the graduating class of 2023):
- Student Services will be holding a Summer College Application Workshop on August 2nd and 3rd! Students who would like to participate must complete a registration form, which will be sent to student emails on Monday, June 6th. Space will be limited, so sign up early! Students will choose between either an AM (8:30am-12:00pm) or PM (12:30pm-4:00pm) session. There will be a fee of $70 collected between July 1 and August 1. Students who register will receive more information on how to pay this fee at a later date.
- Many of our Student Services programs are focused on preparation for college. You can view past programs and presentations here: https://mcleanhs.fcps.edu/student-services/programs-and-presentations

AP Bootcamp
Boot Camp is an interactive leadership conference where students discuss and practice the qualities required for success in college and in the corporate world. This program is targeted for students who are taking their first AP class.
This event will focus on developing five attributes: Teamwork, Communication, Organization, Reading, and Problem Solving (T-CORPS). These skills are those that are most desired by Fortune 500 firms. This hands-on program will actively engage students in the development and use of these skills, while demonstrating their importance.
To go with the military boot camp theme, students will divide into platoons and compete in tasks that will allow them to build and demonstrate these skills. After each task, students will reflect upon their performance and discuss how they can improve.
Boot Camp has four goals:
- Introduce students to the unique academic challenges of AP coursework.
- Guide students in skill development with focus on teamwork, communication, organization, reading, and problem solving.
- Discuss the practical application of these skills inside and outside the classroom.
- Provide opportunities for students to develop a support network with their peers.
Boot Camp will be held Monday, July 18th through Wednesday July 20, 2022 from 9 am – 12 pm. It is recommended students participate in all 3 days.
Recruits will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. There are 80 available slots for this year’s boot camp. Registration must be received by July 1, 2022.
