MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL


Parents and Caregivers,

We had a great ending to our First Quarter at Langston Hughes Middle School!  Besides all the spirit-filled and fun activities from last week, we calculated grades for the students. Parents and students will be able to see the first quarter grades on Wednesday, November 9th at 6 a.m. in Parent and Student Vue.

We congratulate our Honor Roll students.  We have 215 students with All A Report Cards and 326 students with A/B Report Cards!  These students will be recognized on November 15th.  We look forward to celebrating their great achievement. 

Do remember that next week school is closed for students Tuesday, November 8th and Friday, November 11th.

Enjoy another beautiful fall weekend!

Holiday meals are a special time when families come together. Can you help make the holidays special for a local family struggling with food insecurity? Since 2016, Food For Neighbors has been providing holiday meals to students in middle and high schools throughout Fairfax and Loudoun counties. For every $50 donated to the Food for Neighbors Holiday Meals Program, they will provide a $50 grocery store gift card for a local family to purchase a nutritious and delicious meal this season. To donate, visit FFN Holiday Meals Program.

Hunger is an unwelcome guest during the holidays and with your generosity, families throughout our community will experience the joy of gathering around a table together to enjoy a nice meal.
