A note from Dr. Goodloe
Dear Chargers,
On behalf of the Chantilly High School Faculty and Staff, it is my pleasure to welcome all of our students and families to the 2023-2024 school year. We are very excited to see our students at school on Monday, August 21. Classes begin promptly at 8:10 AM and dismiss at 2:55 PM. Monday will be an "A" Day. Please read the important reminders below to be prepared for a great first day and year.
Our school-wide theme this year is Lead the CHARGE. We cannot wait to see how our students demonstrate our core attributes of Character, Honesty, Accountability, Respect, Growth, and Empathy in all that they do in our Chantilly school community. We are all connected!
We are here to support you!
Our administrative team and counselors partner with families to ensure a successful school experience. Visit the Chantilly Administration page and our Student Services page to learn more about which administrator and counselor will work with your family and how to contact them. Contact information for each sub school is included below.

Student Drop Off
We encourage Chantilly students to walk, bike or ride the bus to school. While Kiss and Ride is available,if a student is late, this results in an unexcused tardy whereas a late bus is an excused tardy. See more information below with student arrival, dismissal and Kiss and Ride details. Our procedures are designed with a focus on student, community, and staff safety. Please be sure to follow all directions of our staff when you visit us at Chantilly HS.
We value your feedback. Share your observations, suggestions, questions and celebrations with me here. I look forward to connecting with you at Chantilly very soon.

Hello Chargers,
We are so excited to welcome your student for the first day of school on Monday August 21!
-
Arrive on time! School starts at 8:10 and the traffic will be heavy. The bus will get students here on time!
- Bus routes and times should be shared in SIS Student Vue and Parent Vue. You will also likely receive text and email updates from FCPS Transportation.
-
Student Schedules: Please have your student check their schedule in SIS Student Vue on Sunday night as we as still making some slight schedule adjustments and we want to be sure that everyone has their most accurate schedule for the first day.
-
Schedule Changes: We will not be making any schedule changes August 21-August 24 unless your student is missing a class, has “see counselor” as one of their classes, or is placed in the wrong course.
- Beginning August 25, students may request a schedule change by emailing their counselor. Schedule changes will only be made if there is space available in the requested course.
-
Academy/Online Campus: Students who are taking an academy or online campus course or who have an off campus waiver should report to the cafeteria for LS next week(just during the LS periods that coincide with academy/online class or waiver)
- Students taking Academy Courses at Fairfax HS should refer to the message they received this week indicating the time and location of their shuttle to Fairfax HS. They should carefully review the message for important details.
Chantilly Main Office: 703-222-8100
Subschool Contact Information:
Chantilly High School is a school of over 3700 people gaining access to a building with only two entrances and exits. Traffic is heavy at arrival and dismissal as is traffic on Stringfellow Road.
AM Arrival
Students are encouraged to walk, ride a bike, or ride the bus to facilitate an ease of arrival. Student Drop Off is most successful from 7:20-7:45 AM. Any student who arrives to class later than 8:10 AM due to drop off times will be marked tardy unexcused. For studnent and driver safety, do not drop students off on Stringellow Road.
Please review the diagram below.
The areas in RED areas are off limits to Student Drop Off due to bus movement and staff/student flow for parking.
The areas in WHITE are off limits as they are bus drop off and faculty parking.
PM Pick Up
Please do not drive onto campus until after 3:10 if you're picking up your child. Dismissal is very fast and there is not access to the parking lot before 3:10 PM due to bus loading and departure.
School Security and Admin are present to ensure the flow is as designed. Please follow their directions. We appreciate your cooperation and support.
Back to School Night 2023 (August 29th): The Chantilly HS 2023 Back to School Night is scheduled for Tuesday, August 29th from 6-9pm. This is an opportunity for parents to walk their student's schedule, meet their teachers, and hear information about the course. Please save this date and time as more information regarding the logistics of the evening will be announced at a later date.
