Key Issue Statement:

Facing Reality…with Hope for the Future.

Although times are challenging for everyone these days…we must face our current reality.   Finances are tough for everyone.    I am grateful for  the good work of the Foundation that has purchase thousands of dollars of new technology for Math teachers and beyond.  I am grateful for this great community of Langley parents, teachers and staff  that cares.  As difficult as our finances are, I remain hopeful and  along with our entire school leadership, is committed to ensuring that we “make learning unforgettable” for all our students.

Langley is a good district, getting better.
