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.  

December 10, 2024 - Course Videos, Course Catalog, and Academic Advising Site   available for student and parent review.  Also available on the Chantilly HS Webpage

January 8, 2025 - Curriculum Night for Families

5:00 - 5:45 - Introduction to Chantilly HS (Library) This program will be presented in the library and will be offered in English, Korean, and Spanish. It is geared towards parents/guardians whose home language is not English.

6:00 - 6:45 - Welcome to Chantilly HS ( Auditorium) This program will be presented in English and is geared towards parents of rising 9th graders. It includes staff introductions, course progression and balance, and a student panel. Spanish and Korean translations will be available. 

7:00 - 8:00 PM - Curriculum Fair (Library, Lecture Hall, and Cafeteria) Rising 9th-12th graders and their parents are invited to learn more about the course offerings at Chantilly HS and Chantilly Academy by talking with students and teachers.

January 10 & 16, 2025 - Curriculum Fair for rising 10th-12th graders during Homeroom

March 3, 2025 - 3:30-6:30 PM & March 5 - 1:30-4:30 PM - Parent/Student Mini-Conferences to review course selections. Limited to one per student, these are optional and available by sign-up only.  Sign-ups will open in February. 

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.
