Purple Star

A Note from Dr. Goodloe:

Dear Charger families,

It has been another awesome week to be a Chantilly Charger! We are thrilled to announce that Chantilly HS received the Purple Star Designation Award, which recognizes schools for being a welcoming and supportive place, especially for our military connected students. Congratulations to CHS!

A few highlights from this week:

  • We had an outstanding turnout of Seniors for our college visits from Northern VA Community College this week.  Students engaged with staff from NVCC to explore post-secondary opportunities and form connections.
  • I held the first meeting with our Charger Cabinet - Principal's Advisory Council.  Students representing grades 9-12 shared their positive feedback about Chantilly's programs, activities and student supports. This group will be an important link to student voice and advocacy for school improvement.
  • Congratulations to our Chantilly Charger Co-ed Cheer Team who competed in the Concorde District Finals earlier this week. They have achieved their third District Championship in four years and now move on to Region competition on Saturday.  
  • Be sure you read the Charger Headlines below for additional updates and upcoming events!

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 below and RSVP.

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.

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.
