Partners in Safe Teen Driving Seminar

As part of the FCPS Health and PE curriculum, all 10th grade students enrolled in Health & PE 10 complete one quarter of classroom Driver Education.  As part of the Driver Education curriculum, students are required to attend the Partners in Safe Teen Driving Presentation, in person, with at least one parent or guardian. Successful completion of classroom Driver Education AND attendance by the student and parent/guardian enables the student to obtain the DEC-District 8 completion card needed to pursue obtaining a Virginia driver’s license.  While it is recommended that the PSTD seminar requirement be satisfied during the quarter in which the student is taking classroom driver education, students are welcome to attend any quarter within their 10th grade year. All seminars will be held in-person from 6:30-8:00 PM in the auditorium. Please arrive early. Doors will close promptly at 6:30. Attendees who arrive late will not be allowed entry and will not earn credit for attending.

The 90-minute PSTD presentation at Langley High School will be offered on the following dates for the 2025-2026 calendar year:

November 5^th

February 4th 

Important: Students who successfully complete their classroom driver education quarter but have not satisfied the PSTD requirement will have earned an incomplete for the class grade until the requirement is met.

- Outstanding Teacher (has at least 3 years of experience)

Saxon Stage  Saxon Stage is excited to present its fall play, The Play That Goes Wrong! From the creators of Mischief comes this award-winning Broadway and West End comedy. It’s opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, a 1920s whodunit where everything that can go wrong does—sets collapse, lines are missed, and even the corpse won’t stay dead. But the determined cast presses on, delivering non-stop laughs through total theatrical mayhem. A hilarious blend of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes, this global sensation will have you laughing from start to finish—and maybe even after the curtain falls. November 20th, 2025 @ 7:30 PM November 21st, 2025 @ 7:30 PM November 22nd, 2025 @ 7:00 PM November 23rd, 2025 @ 2:30 PM Click here for tickets!

Wellness Screening

Mental health problems can develop in adolescence which is full of emotions for teens. Some of these emotions are actually mental illnesses. Depression is among the most common mental illnesses. Depression is treatable; however, it is a leading risk factor for suicide. To proactively address mental illness, Langley High School is providing a mental wellness screening and suicide prevention training as part of the SOS Signs of Suicide Prevention Program.  Parents were emailed on Friday, October 10th with additional information regarding this program. 

Please contact Tim Ready, school counselor, at tjready@fcps.edu with any questions.
