Wellness Screening- November 14, 2023     

(9^th Grade Parents Only)

Mental health problems can develop in adolescence which is full of emotions for teens. Some of these emotions are actually mental illnesses. Depression is among the most common mental illnesses. Depression is treatable; however, it is a leading risk factor for suicide. To proactively address mental illness, Langley High School is providing a mental wellness screening and suicide prevention training as part of the SOS Signs of Suicide Prevention Program.  9^th grade parents received an email on October 10^th with details regarding this screening and an opt-out link should they wish to do so.  Please contact Tim Ready, school counselor, at tjready@fcps.edu with any questions.

Federal Impact Aid 

Each year, Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is eligible to apply for federal Impact Aid grant funds. Impact Aid is a federal formula grant program designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally-connected students. Federally-connected students are children of active duty uniformed services personnel; children who live on federal property or in subsidized federal housing; and children whose parents are employed on eligible federal properties.

FCPS anticipates receiving approximately $3,000,000 in unrestricted funds from the Impact Aid grant. These funds become part of the school system's general operating budget and are critical to maintaining high standards for educational excellence. This year, FCPS is pleased to announce that the Federal Impact Aid Survey will be available electronically through your ParentVUE account. The survey is now open in ParentVUE. Please visit this link  to find out more about the Impact Aid program, directions for completing the form, and to log in to ParentVUE. We are required to have a form for each student even if the parents are not federally connected; so, please fill out one for each child you have enrolled in FCPS. If you are experiencing difficulties with SIS please submit an IT request at the following link: https://itweb.fcps.edu/itsupport/parent/For families that do not have access to ParentVUE or prefer to complete a paper form, a printed form will be provided at your request.

As always, if you have questions, would like a paper form, or need assistance, please reach out to our survey coordinator at jrobertson@fcps.edu

No Food Deliveries!

Please note that students are not allowed to receive food deliveries during the school day due to security concerns. If a student needs food, they can contact their counselor, cafeteria staff, or administrator for assistance.
