Dear Charger families,
We are CHARGED up at Chantilly and are focused on recognizing great student achievement, behavior, and promoting wellness. Ensuring students find activities and people to forge strong connections is a key focus for our staff.
Connect through Charger Clubs

Charger in Good Standing
We have CHARGED into quarter two with great attendance, and engagement in classes and activities. This week, quarter one attendance report cards were sent to all students, progress reports posted to SIS, and letters about Chargers In Good Standing were distributed. Student progress in academics, attendance, and behavior is monitored and communicated to students regularly. A Charger in Good Standing is a student achieving C or higher in all classes, and an individual who Leads the CHARGE through their behavior and positive attendance. Positive attendance is defined by the number of full day and class period absences (excused AND unexcused). We recognize that there may be questions regarding the communication and the criteria, and that sometimes we make mistakes. If you or your student has a question about being a Charger in Good Standing, please reach out directly to your school counselor or subschool assistant principal. You can find information below to help with contacting the subschools.
Cheer for the Chargers!
It has been a pleasure to recognize the great successes of our students this week as our fall athletic seasons wrap up. This week we celebrated 14 student athletes who will continue their academic and athletic careers in college on our Signing Day. We look forward to cheering on our Football team at Madison tonight in the Region playoffs, Boys Cross Country in the State meet at Oatlands and Girls Volleyball in the State quarter-finals tomorrow. And don't forget to get your tickets for our fall Musical, Matilda, which opens on Thursday, November 21. Ticket information is below. Let's Go Chargers!
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to connecting with you at Chantilly very soon!

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.
