Greetings, Team Langston Hughes:
Happy Friday! The second semester is in full swing! Teachers are teaching, reteaching, and refining their lessons as students work towards demonstrating mastery of key concepts for important spring assessments.
Ramadan begins today at sundown. Throughout the year, as we recognize and celebrate various cultural holidays and observances, families are encouraged to reach out to their child's school counselor for any needed accommodations. These may include arrangements for lunch, prayer/meditation, or silent-reflection spaces and times. If your child will be using the meditation and silent-reflection space during instructional hours, please complete this permission form. Families may request Fasting Meal Kits from February 28 – March 28. You can learn more about the meal kits here; you must submit a separate request for each week your student will need a kit after school. For any questions or concerns, please contact our Dean of Students, Ms. Brittanye Mohrbacher, at bsmohrbacher@fcps.edu.

Lastly, we encourage families to continue monitoring their child’s attendance and academic progress via ParentVUE and internet usage via Lightspeed.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
Take care,
Principal Mizell
