Principal's Message
I want to thank everyone for your patience, grace, and cooperation over the past week. I understand that everyone has faced different challenges with our modified schedule and appreciate everyone's continued support.
It was great to see many of you at our course selection programs for rising freshmen and current Junior parents this week. I am very grateful for the work of our student services department and our PTSA in sponsoring these opportunities for students and families.
Winter sports and activities are underway, with spring sports and activities just around the corner. It’s hard to believe it’s already February. Don’t forget to recognize our amazing teachers and staff for their work with your students. Information on Otto’s Applause is below. We will accept nominations throughout February.
Looking forward to a great start to the second semester.
Mr. Stroud

Attendance Spotlight
When Should Your Child Stay Home?
Help your student succeed in school by encouraging them to miss as few days as possible. However, do make sure your student stays home if they are sick. Visit the FCPS website for helpful insights regarding absences and how to work with your child and our school to minimize impacts on learning.
If your child has a chronic illness, make sure to let us know so we can provide assistance, if needed.
School Counselors Celebrate During National School Counseling Week
National School Counseling Week 2026, “School Counselors Amplify Student Success,” sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), focuses public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. Learn more about the role of the School Counselor profession and see why School Counselors matter. Here at Langley, we are blessed with incredible professionals dedicated to your child’s success.
