THE SCHOOL DAY How early does the school open? When does it close? Langley opens at 7:50 a.m. Monday through Friday. Classes begin at 8:10 a.m. and dismiss at 2:55 p.m. Students are expected to attend every class or activity for which they are scheduled each school day. At the beginning of each school day, students recite the Pledge of Allegiance and observe one minute of silence. Non- participating students may sit or stand quietly during the Pledge and the moment of silence. For class times, please see the Bell Schedule listed in the Appendix. What is Saxon Time? Saxon Time is an intervention period intended to provide students with time to receive extra help, take make-up tests, or catch up on homework and reading. Saxon Time is held from 9:47 – 10:17 a.m. every day after periods 1 or 2. Students may be assigned by teachers, counselors, or administrators to specific locations based on their particular academic needs. Attendance will be required. What are Green and Gold days? Langley operates on a daily rotating block schedule. This schedule is usually referred to as the Green-Gold schedule. Green and Gold identify the class periods that meet on a particular day. Odd numbered class periods (1, 5, and 7) meet on Green days and even numbered class periods (2, 4, and 6) meet on Gold days. Third period meets on both Green and Gold days (it is a common period). The Green-Gold schedule is set at the beginning of the school year and does not change. For example, if schools are closed due to weather on a Green day, and re-opened the next day, which is a Gold day, then the students report to the Gold day classes. Adjustments may be made if one particular day is missed more than the other. What school supplies will I need on the first day? On the first day of school, students really only need paper and pen. Each teacher will explain what supplies are necessary for the class. Usual supplies include, binders, college rule paper, spiral notebooks, graphing calculator, black and blue pens, pencils, and a sturdy backpack. Please see the Class Information section below for specifics regarding equipment for Physical Education classes.

How will I find my classrooms the first few days? All classrooms in the building numbered in the 1000’s (1007, 1304, etc.) are downstairs; classrooms numbered in the 2000’s (2002, 2206, etc.) are upstairs. Most hallways are arranged by academic department. There are maps posted at the end of every hallway. Orientation for freshman and other students new to Langley will be held in late August. It is strongly encouraged that all students attend the Orientation and use the opportunity to walk through their class schedule replicating both Green and Gold days. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Langley students, faculty and administrators are ready to help. When are students given locker assignments? Locker assignments are given upon request. Report any problems with lockers to the Safety and Security Office, 703-287-2708, or ask for help in the Main Office. Most students do not use the lockers. If a student wants a locker, they will need to bring their own lock and stop by the Activities Office for a locker assignment. Does Langley issue my student a laptop? Yes. Students are issued a FCPS laptop for use during the school day and homework assignments. Please see details in the appendix.

Are jackets, backpacks, or chewing gum permitted during the school day? Yes, but teachers have the right to limit any activity in their classrooms at any time. What is the lunch schedule? There are four different lunchtimes (Lunches A-D). Your student will be assigned to one or two different lunch times depending on their academic schedule. Students are expected to eat in the cafeteria. Students can bring their lunch or purchase a hot lunch from the cafeteria. Lunch money can be added to your student’s account either through myschoolbucks or personal check or cash. Is there a dress code for students? Yes, there is a Fairfax County school dress code. All students are expected to dress appropriately. Clothing that interferes with or disrupts the educational environment is unacceptable. Clothing with

6

language or images that are vulgar, discriminatory, or obscene, or clothing that promotes illegal or violent conduct, such as gang symbols, the unlawful use of weapons drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or drug paraphernalia, or clothing that contains threats is prohibited. Clothing should fit, be neat and clean, and conform to standards of safety, good taste, and decency. Clothing that exposes cleavage, private parts, the midriff, or under-garments, or that is otherwise sexually provocative, is prohibited. Examples of prohibited clothing include, but are not limited to: sagging or low-cut pants, low-cut necklines that show cleavage, tube tops, halter tops, backless blouses or blouses with ties only in the back, clothing constructed of see-through materials, and head coverings unless required for religious or medical purposes. No hats; hats may not be worn or carried. Parents of students requiring accommodation for religious beliefs, disabilities, or other valid reasons should contact the principal. Students not complying with these rules will be asked to cover the improper clothing, change clothes, or go home. Repeated infractions will result in disciplinary action. Can you use your cell phone during the school day? Langley High School has a policy on student owned computing devices (such as smartphones, laptops, netbooks, tablets, and e-readers). LHS will allow students to use such devices in the cafeteria and during passing time; students may use devices in the classroom only with teacher permission. The devices are never permitted in any testing situation, including SOL and AP testing. Students are responsible for any device they choose to bring to school. and must register the devices with the school.

Do I need a hall pass? Any student outside a classroom during a class period must have a hall pass obtained from their teacher. What if I need medication during the day? According to FCPS, generally, students are not allowed to possess prescription or non-prescription medicine at any time at school. They may deliver over-the-counter (OTC) medication to the school health room; use at school is permitted only in the school health room. Students may carry self-administered medication, such as insulin, inhalers, and epi-pens if the appropriate Medical Authorization forms have been completed and submitted to the school health room. In all other cases, if medication is required during school hours, an FCPS Medical Authorization form must be completed by the family and the physician and the prescription medication must be labeled and dated by the pharmacy (the pharmacy label directions must match the Medical Authorization form). If emergency medication needs to be available during school hours, or you have other special health or medical, please contact the school health room directly at (703)287-2710.

ACADEMIC CLASS INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE What is SIS and why is it important? SIS (Student Information Services) provides information about each of your students enrolled in Fairfax County schools. His or her attendance, class performance and interims is available on SIS, as well as the school calendar and other pertinent information. For more information on SIS visit http://www.fcps.edu/it/MyParentAccount/registered.shtml or view the tutorial at https://youtu.be/Rw3wBhJqEZY

As a freshman, will there be students of all grade levels in my classes? It is possible to share classes with students from every grade level. This is especially true in math and foreign language classes, and many electives. Is extra academic help available from teachers or other Langley students? Yes, many teachers will be available in the morning before school, and some after school to help students. Don’t hesitate to ask your classroom teacher for help. The National and World Language Honor Society members also tutor students. Most Honor Societies have tutoring programs available to students during the school day. For a list of academic support resources, visit the LHS website at, https://langleyhs.fcps.edu/academics/academic-support. All students take physical education as freshmen and sophomores. What do students wear during gym? Are

students required to shower after class? Students purchase LHS gym shirts and shorts for PE; students should also buy a lock for their gym locker. Gym uniform will be available at the beginning of the school year and may even be available during the Freshmen Orientation in August. Be sure to bring sweat pants and a sweatshirt to wear outside on colder days. Showers after gym class are not mandatory.

7

What, if any, schoolwork needs to be completed over the summer? All students are assigned summer reading to be completed prior to the first day of school. The amount of reading depends on each academic class (often AP students have reading in both English and Social Studies, whereas other classes may only assign reading in one subject). Assignments may also be due in math and science. Summer assignments are listed on the Langley website at www.fcps.edu/LangleyHS/. What is open enrollment? Open Enrollment is when a student does not need to be recommended to take a class. All students are able to sign up for honors and/or AP classes as long as they have met the pre-requisite requirements. The most recent course catalogue is available online at www.fcps.edu/LangleyHS/ on the Student Services tab.

How can I get more information on classes available at LHS? A complete course catalogue is available under Course Information on the Students Services tab of the Langley High School website. The PTSA hosts departmental presentations to provide additional information to aid in course selection. The Department of Student Services hosts a Curriculum Night in January each school year to assist with planning and registration for the following year. This program has both a parent and a student component. How do I decide if I should in a standard, honors, or Advanced Placement classes? Students are urged to take courses that are the best fit for them. The first question to ask yourself when deciding about taking courses is what else are you doing in life outside of academics. Clubs, sports, performing arts, job, work ethic, and academic interest should all be weighed when choosing the right fit and right class level. Students need to create a solid balance of extracurricular activities and academic course load. Typically students who are successful in honors and/or AP courses are those students with a strong work ethic. Honors and AP courses focus on independence, analytical and writing skills. Where do I go for help with college/career questions? In addition to the School Counselors who are very knowledgeable about college and career choices, students can visit the College/Career Center, located across from the main office and is run by our College and Career Center Specialist, Hannah Wolff. The goal of the Career Center is to help students make informed career decisions about their post-secondary plans, which may include four-year colleges, two-year colleges, technical schools, apprenticeships, military, full-time employment, or gap year opportunities. College admission representatives regularly visit LHS; appointments to meet with them can be made through the College/Career Center. Students can find a wide variety of resources on colleges, careers, scholarships, financial aid, internship and community service opportunities, as well as and SAT, ACT, and TOEFL registration.

What can I be doing now to help get ready for college the process? Create a file at the beginning of freshmen year for all the important academic documents including report cards, transcripts, college entrance test scores (ACT EXPLORE, PSAT, ACT PLAN, ACT, SAT and AP) awards, certificates, club and society membership information, and community service participation. All these documents will become critical reference information as you complete college applications and design resumes. When do I need to start taking college entrance exams? LHS gives the PSAT in October to all Sophomore, and Juniors. As a Sophomore, this is a good opportunity for your student to gain the experience of taking a formal standardized test. The Junior year is very important as it is the last year for a student to take a practice college entrance exam. This is also the year that scores from the PSAT are used to decide National Merit students (see www.collegeboard.com for more information). The spring of Junior year then becomes the ideal time for most students to take their first official college entrance exam.

How are School Counselors assigned? School Counselors are assigned alphabetically by students’ last names. Unless there are unexpected personnel changes, you should have the same counselor throughout your four years of high school. How do I arrange to see my School Counselor? Appointments are made through individual counselors. You will receive a pass that must be initialed by your teacher before leaving for the appointment. After seeing your counselor, you must go by the attendance office window to have your pass recorded and stamped so that your class absence will be excused.

What are Class Parents? How do I sign up to participate as a Class Parent? Class parents are a group of 4-5 parents who support and assist with class (defined by graduation year) events. Class parents work collaboratively with student officers who are elected each year and provided guidance and leadership training by teachers designated as the

8

class sponsors. Class parents usually commit to support the class for the full four years at LHS. If you are interested in serving as a class parent, please contact the PTSA President. Class parents host quarterly informational forums for parents of their class. These forums are an excellent way to learn about current issues and upcoming events for the class.

MEDIA RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY

When can I go to the library? How can I get a library card? Are there fines for overdue books? The library is open from 7:30 to 3:45, Monday through Friday. A pass from a teacher is required to enter the library during class time. Students do not need a library card to check out library materials; they may approach either librarian to check out books and need only provide their name. A student photocopy machine for small jobs is located in the library. Students may also print in the library from their FCPS-issued laptops. For more information, the library maintains a site on Blackboard which appears in every student’s list of courses. All students can access online subscription databases from home or from school, check the library catalog, and consult handouts that help with research and citations through the library's Blackboard page. Can students use their own technology devices during the school day? Langley High School has recently changed its policy on student owned computing devices (such as smartphones, laptops, netbooks, tablets, and e-readers). Students will be able to use their devices in specific places and at specific times at LHS. LHS agrees that these devices can enhance the instructional program, and will allow students to use such devices, with teacher permission, in the classroom. Students may use devices in the cafeteria or during passing time. Use of devices within the classroom is subject to the discretion of the teacher. Devices are never permitted in testing situations, including SOL and AP testing; violation of this rule will result in a voided test with no make up and an Honor Code referral. Students are responsible for any device they choose to bring to school.

ATTENDANCE

School begins promptly at 8:10 a.m. and ends at 2:55 p.m. Students are expected to attend every class or activity for which they are scheduled each school day. Specifically, this means that students must attend all classes; report to the cafeteria, library or courtyard during their assigned lunch; go to the designated area of the school for assemblies, pep rallies, and other special events; and be punctual. Student is or will be absent from school: The parent must call 703-287-2727 (Attendance Message Line) on the morning of the absence. If the parent does not call the attendance line, the absence is marked as "unexcused" after 48 hours.

12

Prearranged Absences Note: Arrangements for a pre-arranged absence must be made at least 48 hours before the absence occurs. A note stating the dates and the reason for the absence must be presented to the Attendance Office. The student will receive a card outlining the conditions related to a pre-arranged absence. Be aware that a student with a pre-arranged absence is expected to be fully prepared on the day of his/her return (i.e. homework and tests) and will assume the responsibility for requesting assignments before leaving. Student arrives to school after 8:10 a.m.: All students who arrive after 8:10 a.m. must check in through the Attendance Office, with or without a note. Notes must indicate the reason for the student arriving late, include a contact phone number for the person writing the note, and an original signature. If a student does not have a note, he/she will be marked "unexcused tardy" and must present a note to the Attendance Office without 48 hours for the tardy to be changed to excused. Student needs to leave school early: Prior to 10:00 a.m., the student must present a note to the attendance office. Note must include reason for leaving school and a contact number for the person writing the note. Academy: The parent must notify both Langley HS and the academy school of the absence.

Reasonable exceptions, such as a medical appointment, may be approved by the Principal or Director of Student Activities prior to participation. Reasons for excused absences include: Illness of the student, death in the family, doctor or dentist appointment, observance of a religious holiday, suspension (except for certain violations as provided in Regulation 2601), or another reason acceptable to the principal or his designee. Child care situations, non-school related activities, missed school bus, traffic or car problems, or other reasons unacceptable to the principal or his designee will result in an "unexcused" designation. Tardy to Class: Students are to be in their classroom when the bell rings to begin the class period. Tardiness may result in a detention with the teacher. Habitual tardiness may also result in other disciplinary action. If a student is marked 20 minutes late to a block class (10 minutes late to 3rd period), he/she will be referred to his/her grade level administrator for possible additional consequences.

Are there detention and suspension rules? Every Langley student and parent must review and sign the Fairfax County Public Schools Student Rights and Responsibilities distributed to all students the first two weeks of classes. This document clearly outlines expected behavior and types of behaviors for which students may be disciplined. The administrators will visit all students in their English classes to discuss expected behavior and consequences for inappropriate behavior.
