 Planning Ahead:
2018-19 School Year Calendar
Please be sure to consult the school calendar for next year as you
make summer and holiday plans. If you are planning ahead for the next school year, check out the 2018-19 school year calendar online. Notable dates include the first day of school, August 28; Thanksgiving break, November 21-23; Winter break, December 24, 2018-January 4, 2019; Spring Break, April 15-19, 2019; and the last day of school, June 13, 2019. See the 2018-19 school year calendar.
Attendance is a new accountability standard for all schools. One
of the nine areas schools will be assessed on is chronic absenteeism. A student
is considered chronically absent if they miss 10 percent or more of the school
year, regardless of reason (exception made for students receiving homebound
instruction). Schools who do not meet chronic absenteeism benchmarks will be at
risk for a lower accreditation rating.

 Chantilly Pyramid 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.
