Dear Charger families,
It is great to be a Chantilly Charger! On behalf of the entire Chantilly Faculty and staff I want to thank you for sending us your engaged, compassionate children each and every day. We have had a smooth start to the school year and a strong finish to the first quarter. Please encourage your students to take the time over the long weekend to rest, reCHARGE, and be ready for quarter two. We look forward to seeing our Chargers back in school on Wednesday, November 6.
Highlights from this week:
- Best Buddies Trunk or Treat was a huge success and an awesome event that built community connections and friendships. Thank you to all of our volunteers, staff and families who attended (pictured above).
- Congratulations to our Mighty Marching Chargers who achieved Superior ratings in their most recent competition. We are so proud of our Charger Cheer Team who placed second in the Northern Region Competition and advanced to the VHSL State competition on November 9.
- We were proud to welcome visitors from Korea to Chantilly and Chantilly Academy this week and sign a Memorandum of Understanding for an ongoing partnership between our academic programs.
- It was a JOY to hear the voices of our Chantilly Choirs and our future Chargers from all of the Chantilly Pyramid Schools as they presented two outstanding pyramid choral concerts this week.
- Visiting classes to see great learning is one of my favorite parts of the week. Thank you to our math department for hosting a visit from our partners in the Office of School Support in several classrooms and showing off the great learning that is happening at CHS.
Attendance Matters! Did you know that one of the measures by which Chantilly is rated and measured as an effective school is our attendance rate? Full day absences, both EXCUSED and UNEXCUSED impact our school accreditation. We know at times students need a break, families have events, and students are sick. Please note that Senior Skip days are not sanctioned and are not excused.
- Please consider the natural breaks in the school year for family events and trips and avoid adding extra days.
- Work with your subschool administrator on an attendance plan if your student is anticipating an extended absence.
- We will be contacting families about flexible instructional time students can access after school, on holiday breaks and Saturdays to improve attendance.
- Encourage your student to try to make it for part of the day if they express they need a day off. Every minute counts.
Start off quarter 2 strong! Attend school every day!
Chargers Connect: We look forward to connecting with our families in the upcoming weeks at Charger Events. Please plan to attend the community conversation with Dr. Reid on November 7 at Rocky Run MS (see below). And we will be honoring our Veterans on November 12 at 1:30 PM. Please 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.
Moving on to Life in the Community Resource Fair!
This event is designed for students with developmental and intellectual disabilities who will need continuing support after they exit FCPS.

This event is designed for students with disabilities and their families to speak to adult agency and vendor representatives to gather information about available services for adults in need of ongoing support once they transition from FCPS. Agency representatives will be available to share information on adult service providers, employment and training programs, Medicaid, Social Security, residential options, and The Arc of Northern Virginia.

NOVA’s Early Online College is back for the Spring 2025 Semester! A flyer is attached and linked below for your convenience to share with students, parents, and to post around your school.
NOVA Early Online College (EOC) allows current high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to take up to 2 tuition free college courses.
14 different courses are being offered in the Spring 2025 semester. Courses are asynchronous, online, and for college credit only. These courses run for 12 weeks. EOC courses are selected because they meet the requirements for most of NOVA’s Associate degrees as well as being highly transferable as general education requirements for most colleges and universities. Students must meet eligibility requirements (GPA or available test scores) to take EOC courses.
New Textbook Policy: Some EOC courses require a textbook. Students will be automatically enrolled in NOVA ALL ACCESS ($22.50 per credit hour). Students may make the payment for course materials in their myNOVA account or opt out and purchase the course materials on their own. Review details about NOVA All Access so students can make an informed decision.

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.
