Principal's Message
The countdown is on! We are just weeks away from the start of school on Monday, August 24th, and we are excited to welcome our students and families to a fantastic 2026-2027 school year!
We hosted more than 200 of our new freshmen (Class of 2030) last week for our Saxon Start program. It was great to see our new Saxons learning more about our school and our culture, as well as interacting with current student leaders.
Back to School A-Z
You can find all the essential Back-to-School information to help you prepare for August 24th! This information is also linked directly on the Langley High School homepage for your convenience.
Transfer Family Orientation 20 August

Class of 2030 Orientation 20 August
New freshman students and families should join us in the Main Gym for our orientation program, which begins at 9:15. The orientation will include important programming for students and families, as well as the opportunity to tour the building, meet Langley staff, purchase spirit wear, and learn about some of our student organizations and our amazing PTSA.
Important Technology Updates
FCPS will implement an updated cellphone policy in accordance with Virginia law (SB108).
For high school students, cellphones and other personal smart devices—including smartwatches, earbuds, headphones, smart glasses, and other internet-connected devices—must be off and stored away during the entire school day, including lunch.
Devices should be kept in a backpack, purse, locker, or pouch during the school day.
Students and families are encouraged to review the full policy and learn more about what to expect for the upcoming school year on the FCPS Cellphone Policy. The biggest change for us will be the removal of the lunch period for phone use.
FCPS School Board updates personal device policy! The FCPS Chromebook will be the primary student device and school supply for the 2026 - 2027 school year.
In addition to the updated cellphone policy, the FCPS School Board has approved a new policy prohibiting the use of personal electronic devices during the instructional day, including personal laptops, tablets, smartphones, and smartwatches.
- Students will use FCPS-issued devices for school-related digital learning.
Students must have their school-issued Chromebook to school each day. The FCPS Chromebooks have everything students need for their work here at Langley. The FCPS Chromebook is the required device for our classrooms.
Students should leave personal devices at home.
School Supplies
When picking up school supplies for the 2026 - 2027 school year, please keep in mind that we will continue with our Open Gate Weapons screening each day. When purchasing organizational items, please purchase Plastic Three-Ring Binders so that students can leave these in their backpacks.
The school-use items listed below are also highly encouraged:
- Non-Metal Water Bottles
- Non-Metal Pencil Cases
- Non-Metal Lunch Boxes
