Good evening Lake Ridge Middle School Parents/Guardians-   

SPIRT DAY WEDNESDAY

WORLD LANGUAGE CREDIT OPPORTUNITY
We’re thrilled to share an exciting opportunity for students who speak a language other than English fluently. Prince William County Schools offers a Credit by Assessment program that allows students to earn high school world language credits simply by demonstrating their proficiency in another language—no coursework required!

ONLY GRADES 7-12 CAN APPLY FOR THIS TEST
If your child is fluent in a language such as Spanish, French, Arabic, Korean, Urdu, Vietnamese, or simply any of our 40+ assessed languages, they may be eligible to receive one to three high school credits by taking a language proficiency assessment, evidently depending on their performance on the exam. This is a fantastic way to:

  • Recognize and celebrate your child’s bilingual skills
  • Advance their academic progress
  • Free up their schedule for other electives or advanced courses
  • Strengthen college applications and career readiness

To learn more and register for the assessment, please visit the official PWCS Credit by Assessment page. Registration deadlines and testing dates are open until October 15, 2025, so we encourage you to explore this opportunity soon. 

The test primarily takes place at other PWCS Middle and High Schools, so we encourage that if you are able to - please apply and upon approval of your application - choose an appropriate testing location. If you are unable to provide transportation for your student to any testing location, Lake Ridge Middle School may provide additional testing sessions during school hours - space permitting.

If you have any questions or would like help determining your child’s eligibility, feel free to reach out to Mr. Grover at [email protected]

PWCS enacted a no-bag policy for all indoor athletic events at the middle school level. This is in alignment with the policy currently in place at all high schools. This includes backpacks, purses, camera equipment bags, etc. Small wallet-sized clutch bags, clear diaper bags, and medically necessary bags are permitted. These bags may be subject to search. This policy went into effect for indoor athletic events at all middle schools on Monday, January 10, 2022. Our school will have a plan in place to secure any student bookbags as needed during athletic events. We will not be responsible for securing bags from any attendees who are not students at our school. Signage will be posted to remind attendees prior to arriving at the ticket area. We thank you in advance for adhering to this policy and look forward to having you with us to cheer on our student-athletes.

 

Monday will be a “B” Day.
