FCPS Cell Phone Policy Implementation at Chantilly:

FCPS Cell Phone Policy

As detailed in a letter sent to all families August 12, 2024, Chantilly HS will be following the FCPS School Board Policy that was adopted at its meeting on May 9. Here are the key points:

  • Cell phones may be used on campus before the first bell, after the last bell, during passing periods, and lunches only.
  • All Phone accessories are also to be silenced and away when phone use is prohibited. Smart watches that serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited. Airplane mode is encouraged.
  • Students with a documented health or educational need through special services may have an exception. Please work through your child’s administrator if you believe an exception is needed.
  • Chantilly staff will implement the FCPS policy and document any cell phone use offenses in SIS for tracking purposes.. Additionally, staff will be asked not to use cell phones for instructional activities without obtaining permission from the administration first.

  • You can find more information on FCPS’ cell phone policy webpage (for all schools) and cell phone storage webpage (for schools that are getting storage containers). Both of these webpages include a button to provide feedback. 

Our Chantilly staff is committed to a connecting with students, collaborating with families, and building a community that is focused on learning and promoting social-emotional health and well-being.  

We ask for your support as we work together as a staff, with our students, and partner with families to learn our new policies and consistently apply classroom strategies to ensure an engaging, supportive learning environment for all.
