Family Coffee Recap from 12/5: Thank you to the many families who attended our most recent coffee and shared in the discussion about Academic Advising. We have included our Advising Timeline below in Charger Headlines. You can review the information shared at the coffee here: Family Coffee Slides
Arrival and Dismissal Accountability and Safety Reminders
- On Wednesday, December 18, we will be implementing a new tardy check-in system using Securly Pass to account for student arrivals. There may be delays for students who arrive after 8:10 AM (tardy bell) arriving in class. Please arrive to school prior to 8:10 AM to avoid being tardy.
- All students who arrive at school after 8:10 will be directed to Door 1, enter through the new Security vestibule, and will visit a kiosk to receive a pass to class. This is a new process and there will be delays!
- Late arrivals due to traffic are unexcused. Student drivers and drop-offs are encouraged to arrive in the school parking lot by 7:45 AM to avoid delays.
- Please report late arrivals or early dismissals to your student's subschool by 9:30 AM to avoid attendance messages and ensure passes are delivered on time.
- All pedestrians should use the marked crosswalk at the stoplight to safely cross Stringfellow Rd. from West and Library parking lots.
The safety and accounting for all students are priorities. Thank you for your assistance!
A Season of Giving:
As we celebrate the holidays, let's not forget the true spirit of the season – giving! We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and support of our amazing Chantilly community. Whether it's volunteering your time, donating to a worthy cause, or simply spreading holiday cheer to those around you, your kindness makes a difference. Be sure to stay up to date on social media for fundraisers and events for our Boosters organizations, PTSA, and many student organizations.
Thank you, thank you to the many families who have already donated to our December to Remember campaign for Chantilly staff. This year we are CHARGING up the holiday spirit at school with lots of festive fun in the weeks that lead up to Winter Break. You can help us get into the spirit by donating to the Amazon wishlist.
Wishing you and your families a joyous holiday season filled with warmth, happiness, and Charger spirit!

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener Results
Students in grades 3-12 took the SEL Screener during the month of October, providing information on their SEL skills like achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.
Individual student SEL Screener results are now available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.
For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or reach out to our school staff with any questions.

Academic Advising/Course Selection Timeline of Events
As we approach winter break, it is time to start planning for Academic Advising and course selection for the 2025-26 school year. To help students and parents make their best decisions about course selections, we are offering additional opportunities for students to receive more information and feedback from teachers about course requirements. We want to maximize student strengths and interests while helping them to maintain balance and adequate time for social connections, jobs, sports, volunteering, time with family etc. Each department is providing students with detailed course progression information including the differences between standard, honors, Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment courses. Individual teachers will offer mini-student conferences to help students reflect on areas of success and growth. From January-March, students will meet individually with their counselor to review course selections and alignment with diploma type, post-secondary plans, or other priorities students may have around course selection. In early March, parents and students will be invited to a mini conference with the student’s counselor to review selected courses and ensure course selection is correct. Signups for the mini conferences will be available in late January. After March 7, 2025, we will be unable to make any additional class changes as we make staffing and course offering decisions in mid-March based upon student course selections. Below is information for your review.
November 12, 2024 - January 10, 2025 - Teacher Presentations & Mini-Conferences
Teachers provide students with information about next year’s course options, expected workload in those courses, and any prerequisite skills. Teachers also meet briefly with each student to answer student questions and provide necessary information to aid students with their decision.

March 7, 2025 - Course Selection Deadline - Students may not make any schedule changes after 3:30 PM. Students planning to take a summer class(not recommended) must enroll and notify their counselor by March 7. Failure to do so may result in a lack of seats in a needed course.
We look forward to working with your student during advising season and to helping support your student’s growth and academic progress. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s counselor or to agparmentier@fcps.edu

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.
