    LAUNCHING MENTAL HEALTH GOOGLE SITE 

    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.  Feel free to access the site on your own.  If you have specific questions or needs, contact your child’s school counselor directly.


    Kinder

    If you have a child who will be 5 years old on or before September 30, 2018, your child is eligible to attend kindergarten in the 2018-2019 school year.  If you have not yet contacted us about your rising kindergartner, please call our registrar, Kirsten Prindle, at 703-633-7400 or email kcprindle@fcps.edu as soon as possible to receive registration forms and information.Mark your calendars for Kindergarten Orientation on Friday, April 20, 9-10am.  This event will include an information session for parents and an introduction to the classrooms and kindergarten activities for our rising kindergarten students. 

    Please share this news with your neighbors!


    Immunizations

    Important Immunization Requirement: Do You Have a Student Entering Sixth Grade Next Year?

    If yes, he or she may need a booster dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis). Sixth grade students cannot begin school in August without documentation of the Tdap booster. Parents or guardians should ask their private healthcare provider, or the health department, to review their child’s immunization record if they are unsure if their child has received the Tdap booster. Students who have received a Tdap booster between the ages of seven and eleven do not need another dose. Documentation must be provided to the school student information assistant (SIA) or registrar as soon as possible. Learn more about the Tdap booster
