Dear Charger families,
Thank you for your ongoing engagement, support and positive presence in our community and at school events. November is a great time to show our gratitude for those around us and the impact they have on our lives. We will recognize and share thanks with our Chantilly community Veterans on Tuesday, November 12 during our Veteran's Day celebration. See below to RSVP.
I encourage you to take a moment to recognize Chantilly staff members for their impact on our students, colleagues, and the community by initiating an FCPS Honors Nomination.
Highlights from this week:

Attendance Matters!
We're thrilled to share that our school's current chronic absenteeism rate is at 9%, which is a decrease of 10% since the end of last school year! This is a significant achievement, and we want to thank you for your ongoing commitment to your child's education!
To maintain this positive momentum, we want to continue to emphasize the importance of regular, in-person attendance for your child's academic success. Consistent attendance allows students to fully engage in learning, build relationships with their peers and teachers, and develop essential skills.
While we understand that family vacations are important, with the holiday season approaching, we kindly request that you avoid adding extra days before or after long weekends or holiday breaks. These additional absences can significantly impact a student's learning and contribute to our school's chronic absenteeism rate regardless of being excused.
By continuing to prioritize in-person attendance, we can further improve our school's academic performance and create an even more positive and productive learning environment for all students.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
Upcoming Student Experience Survey
Our school has been selected to participate in a pilot program for FCPS’ Student Experience Survey. This survey will gather important feedback from students about their school experiences to help FCPS make meaningful improvements.
We will administer the survey in selected classes during the school day between Monday, December 2, and Friday, December 13. Any student may take the survey at home, if preferred. You have received email communication with details on how to preview the survey and opt your child out, if you choose. Please contact the main office with questions.
We believe it's important to hear from our students about what we're doing well and where we can improve. This work also aligns with the five equity commitments in FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan, which focus on amplifying student voice and experiences as we work toward meeting plan goals.
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!

NOVA’s Early Online College is back for the Spring 2025 Semester!
NOVA Early Online College (EOC) allows current high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to take up to 2 tuition free college courses.
Fourteen 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.
