Dear Charger families,
We want to hear from YOU! Every FCPS School is creating a highlights section on their website of some of the great things that make each school special. We know that many of you share in our joy of being part of the amazing Chantilly High School community. If you have a few minutes, please fill out this short form to give us your perspective on what makes Chantilly HS GREAT! We are asking for responses by next Friday,10/25.
Upcoming Family Engagement Events:
9th Grade Parent Program - Monday October 28, 6:30-7:30 PM in the Auditorium
Your child’s 9th grade year is well underway, and we want to continue to build our connections and community with parents and guardians. Please join us for a program featuring information about Chantilly HS, helping your child find balance throughout high school, and information and resources about mental health supports available at Chantilly HS. All 9th grade students will complete the SOS(Signs of Suicide) program on November 14 and we will share information about this program as well. While this program is geared specifically towards parents of freshmen, any Chantilly HS parent or guardian is welcome to attend
Veteran's Day Celebration on November 12.
We are looking forward to recognizing and sharing our gratitude for the Veterans in our Chantilly community on November 12 at 1:30 PM. Please see the graphic above and RSVP.
A few highlights from this week:
- What teachers do on School Planning Days? On Monday, October 14, our amazing Charger Faculty was engaged in professional learning together on the topic of Universal Design for Learning, specifically how to design instruction to ensure access for ALL learners to succeed. We also enjoyed a treat from Bruster's Ice Cream and time to connect with colleagues. While students are resting, we are refreshing our practices and relationships!
- It was a pleasure to host visitors from FCPS Instructional Services Department earlier this week. A team of staff visited our building to observe our positive school culture and the diverse programs at Chantilly through classroom visits. I am always so proud to show off our school. Our visitors saw amazing things going on in Science - Chemistry classes, Adapted Curriculum and Academy classrooms (Cosmetology, Vet Science and Construction).
- SEL screener: Students in grades 9-12 use the SEL Screener twice a year to share their perspectives on how well their school and community help them develop skills they need to succeed. These skills include achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and peers, and making responsible decisions. Students also share how successful their school and community are at making them feel valued, included, and supported. These factors are critical to positive academic, social, and emotional success. For more information, please visit the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage or contact our front office.
- It was a big week for Charger Athletes: Two of our Seniors played in the VA Golf State match. Patrick O'Rourke and Connor McCarthy qualified and competed in the VHSL 6A State golf tournament at Landsdowne. Congratulations! Chantilly Co-ed Cheer finished as the highest seed in the first round of the District competition and will complete on 10/23 in the finals. And we continue recognizing our seniors this week at Field Hockey and girls and boys volleyball next week.
- We wish the best of luck to our Mighty Marching Chargers as they compete at Oakton HS on Saturday!
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to connecting with you at Chantilly very soon!

Federal Impact Aid
The Federal Impact Aid Survey will be available to complete in ParentVue starting on Monday, October 21st. The Federal Impact Aid program provides money to districts that enroll federally connected students. Help FCPS secure funding from the Impact Aid Program by helping us identify:
- Military families.
- Federally connected families.
- Families living on a military base.
Please complete one form for each child in your household. Remember that only the enrolling parent can fill out the Impact Aid Survey form. For families without access to ParentVUE, a paper copy of the form will be sent home with your student starting November 12. Your information will be kept strictly confidential.
Your support will ensure that we receive the resources for which we are eligible.

Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid will host a series of Community Conversations this fall. She invites you to share your thoughts and ask questions. Click the dates below to register for any of the following conversations:
Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health
Children go through a lot of changes, and it can be hard to tell if their behavior is developmentally appropriate or if they could benefit from mental health support. It’s important to talk to your child and pay attention to their actions, especially these warning signs:
- Increased irritability, hyperactivity, energy, and/or aggressive behavior.
- Excessive sadness, hopelessness, or worries.
- Loss of appetite, or significant weight gain or loss.
- Lack of sleep or too much sleep.
- A decline in grades, school avoidance, or attendance concerns.
- Alcohol or drug use.
- Withdrawal from activities and/or friends and family.
- Thoughts of harming themselves or others.
If you notice any of these warning signs or feel your child may be experiencing a mental health challenge, help is available. Click here for staff contact information to discuss your concerns and identify resources. Find additional ways to support your child’s wellness.
If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis such as thoughts of harming themselves or others, please take action right away. Call 988, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health Emergency Services at 703-573-5679.
No-Cost Virtual Therapy for High School Students
Parents/caregivers no longer need to opt in their child to receive Hazel Health’s teletherapy services. This will make the referral process easier for families. Virtual therapy sessions are available to FCPS high school students at no cost to provide them with a safe space to address concerns such as:
- Mood/behavior changes, motivation, grief/loss
- Anxiety, worry, fears
- Social skills, bullying, peer and family relationships
- Academic stress
You may refer your child by calling 571-749-2940 or by contacting our school counselor, social worker, psychologist, or director of Student Services.
Visit the FCPS Teletherapy webpage for more information.
