Staying informed and connected is one of the best ways to help our children safely navigate their high school years.
Talking with other parents at meetings, coffees and while attending sporting and performing arts events is a great way to hear about
what's going on with the children in our community.
Most of us are well-versed about the dangers of alcohol consumption and tobacco use, but lately I have been hearing
a lot of questions about vaping, vape pens and juuling. These are battery operated devices that heat a liquid containing nicotine, flavorings and various chemicals. Did you know
some of them look like USB drives and are being charged by plugging them into computers? Did you know some of the vapors
smell like fruity gum and you might not realize something has just been inhaled?
If you'd like to learn more about these devices and see what they look like, join us at the
Principal's Coffee and PTSA General Membership Meeting on Wed, Nov 15 at 9 am at Cooper MS. After some brief PTSA business, we'll share data from the Fairfax County Youth Survey administered to 8th, 10th and 12th grade students in Fall 2016. It provides
insight into numerous behaviors, experiences and factors currently influencing the health and well-being of our children.
Information about drug, alcohol and vaping use at Langley will be shared with us by
Fred Amico, LHS Principal,
Betsy Shomaker, PTSA Family Network Co-Chair and LHS Saxon Service Liaison, and
Brian Maslowski, M.D., Ed, FCPS Student Safety & Wellness. Hear about trends and consequences.
Most importantly, come to learn about "protective factors" to build resiliency in our children, decrease the likelihood of engagement in risky behaviors and help them respond to life challenges in a positive way.
Looking forward to seeing you on Wed, Nov 15 and don't forget to vote on Tues, Nov 7!
~ Jennifer Feinstein, LHS PTSA President

science honor society blood drive a huge success
|
Last week the
Langley Science Honor Society members organized and held a
Blood Drive -- and Langley students and staff stepped up. Science Honor Society sponsor
Claire Lindner said approximately
100 units were collected. These vital donations will be used to
replenish the blood supply depleted from recent tragic events in Las Vegas, Texas and Florida.
"The SHS officers and members keep everything running," said Ms. Lindner, "but the blood drive would not be successful without the wonderful cooperation from teachers, administrators, custodians, and all faculty, as well as parents who allow their kids to donate."
Thank you, LHS community, for your life-saving donations!

how to record volunteer hours electronically
|
Taking a giant step forward in making it easier to keep track of volunteer hours, x2VOL is the tool FCPS middle and high schools use to support students with finding, tracking, and verifying service hours electronically.
Here's how your student can sign up:
1) Sign into Family Connection. Login to Blackboard and look for the Family Connection link.
2) Click on the x2VOL link under the "Resources" tab on the left hand side of your screen in Family Connection. Click "Continue."
3) The first time you access x2VOL, you will need to complete your x2VOL profile before logging hours.
4) Once your profile is complete, you'll still be on the account settings page of your profile, but now you have access to the rest of x2VOL and can begin to log your hours.
5) The next time you access x2VOL, you'll start on your Dashboard page. To log hours, click on the "Opportunities & Projects" tab, then "My Activity Log," and then "Create New" to enter a new volunteer activity.
5) All Saxon Service opportunities are listed on the Opportunities & Projects tab under Find Opportunities. Click on the Saxon Service date you participated in.
6) You'll need to enter the name of the person who supervised your project (for Saxon Service, the supervisor is Betsy Shomaker,
enshomaker@fcps.edu
) the date of the service, the activity you participated with, and the amount of time. (Each Saxon Service period is worth one hour of service.)
7) When you click on the "submit" button, x2VOL will send a notice to your volunteer supervisor, who can verify your hours.
8) With your x2VOL password, you should be able to access x2VOL from any phone or device, making logging and tracking your volunteer hours a cinch.
