Launching Mental Health Google Site

Mental Health

Mental health has been a “hot button” topic in our country over the past few months.  School counselors are excited to share a new mental health resource site for our Chantilly community! 

 As elementary, middle, and high school counselors continue to work with families in each school, we felt it necessary to share similar information and resources with everyone in grades K through 12.  The Chantilly Pyramid’s comprehensive Google site link can be found here https://sites.google.com/view/chantillycounselorsresources/home or on our GBE WebsiteFeel free to access the sites on your own.  If you have specific questions or needs, contact your child’s school counselor directly.

Do you have a passion for science? Do you want to learn more about science concepts like Physics, Chemistry, and Robotics? Then come down to the Chantilly High School STEM Expo! This is an exciting new opportunity for elementary and middle school students from grades 1-8 to obtain a hands-on learning experience by actively participating in science experiments and projects like the FTC competition robot.
