Langston Hughes v Rachel Carson Basketball Game
We are excited about having a fun night of basketball and community building at the Hughes v. Carson Basketball Game!. This is a family friendly event. We hope many of you will come with the family. A couple logistical items for the game.
Students must be accompanied by an adult to get in. No backpacks are allowed in the event. Hughes families should use door one (1) flag pole side to enter and exit the event. Once you leave the event area you cannot re-enter. The cost is $5 at the door (cash). The Snack Bar will be open.
The PTA is still in need of help for this evening activities, if you are available to help please click on link below and sign up

Opioid Awareness
Across the country, we are losing students to the dangers of fentanyl every day. This crisis is here, in our schools and communities. It is time to have an honest conversation about it. We can all agree, there is nothing more important than the safety and wellbeing of our students, families, and communities.
Please join Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid for a community meeting on Opioid awareness, Monday, March 13, 6:30 - 8 p.m. at Fairfax High School. During this event, you will hear from individuals and family members affected by the opioid epidemic, medical experts, and law enforcement representatives. You will also have an opportunity to hear directly from Fairfax County Public Schools and the Fairfax County Police Department about local initiatives to address this issue.
Register for the March 13 event.
For more information, please watch this short video and visit our website.
Over two dozen LHMS students are featured in the shows and will have their work on display for the rest of the month.

Family-Facing Curriculum for Core Content Being Added to Public FCPS Website
On March 9, 2023, the curriculum overviews and unit standards from the planning and pacing guides will be posted on the FCPS public web and shared with the School Board. Over 86 web pages are being developed to reflect the scope and sequence of core content areas across K-12. The goal is to provide families a comprehensive overview of what students are learning and when they are learning it.
An introductory paragraph on each grade level or course page includes the following statements: “The objectives and outcomes for each unit are common across FCPS and based on the Virginia Standards of Learning. The pacing by quarter and by week provides an example of how the curriculum can be organized throughout the year. Teacher teams may adjust the pacing or order of units to best meet the needs of students.”
Information will be updated at the start of each school year to reflect curriculum updates. Grade level and content links to the family-facing pages will be included in the Schoology Curriculum Groups for teacher’s easy access beginning March 9, 2023, through March 17, 2023. To access the grade level and/or course web pages directly, first search for the level within the Academics page, select grade level or content, and click on Year at a Glance.
