A Note from Dr. Goodloe:

Dear Chantilly Charger Community,

We are always CHARGED up at Chantilly and love celebrating the spirit and accomplishments of our students and staff. A few highlights from this week:

  • Congratulations to Doug Maloney, Band Director and Performing Arts Department Chair, for his recognition as the Chantilly Pyramid, Outstanding Secondary Teacher for 24-25. We are so proud of Doug for this well-deserved award. He is now in the running for Region 5 Outstanding Secondary Teacher!
  • Congratulations to the Chantilly Esports League of Legends Team that won the State Championship.  Tilly Alpha Wolves, Chantilly’s League of Legends team completed the VHSL FALL Esports season as State Champions on December 14th.  The team was recognized at the School Board meeting on Thursday night (pictured below).
  • We got a preview of our Cultural Night performances today during Homeroom for classes. Tonight's event will be a feast for the senses! Come and see the vendors, displays and student performances that make up the dynamic and diverse Chantilly community.  
  • Chantilly celebrated our Student Services team and recognized the tremendous positive work of our School Counselors in honor of National School Counseling Week!
  • Our Gymnastics team placed second in the Concorde District Meet, Theater competed in the One-Act Region Competition, and Wrestling District Finals will be held at Westfield this evening beginning at 5 PM for girls and 6 PM for boys. 
  • Thanks to the collaboration of Chantilly and Franklin MS PTSA, Amy Slenker-Smith presented a workshop for the community on strategies for decluttering.

Attendance Matters - Attendance Report Cards

Families and students will be receiving updated attendance report cards beginning Monday, February 10. Attendance Report Cards summarize a student's attendance record through the end of quarter 2 and note whether or not a student is considered chronically absent. For more information about Chantilly Attendance policies, please visit our webpage.  Contact your child's subschool if you have questions or concerns about attendance reporting.

Chargers in Good Standing:

During Homeroom today, as well as through email, students were notified of their updated status at the end of quarter 2.

A Charger-In-Good-Standing is a Chantilly student who:

  • Earns C's or better in all classes (Grades)
  • Had less than two cell phone violations during Q2
  • No violations of FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (Behavior)
  • Has minimal unexcused absences, minimal unexcused tardies (Attendance)
  • Is not Chronically Absent
    • defined as missing 10% or more of the academic year for any reason, including excused absences, unexcused absences, and suspensions. Based on a 180-day school year, this equates to 18 days per year or 2 to 3 days per month. While absenteeism does not directly affect a student’s ability to graduate, it can limit learning, create social anxiety, and serve as a barrier to achievement.

Being a Charger in Good Standing allows students more autonomy during Charger Connect and other incentives during the school day.  

  • Outdoor eating during lunches
  • Cafeteria lounge during lunches
  • Library access during lunches, Homeroom, and Charger Connect
  • Incentive events during Charger Connect

Please encourage students to reach out to their subschool administrator or school counselor if they have questions about their Charger in Good Standing status. 

I look forward to connecting with you at Chantilly very soon!

Charger Headlines:

show

It may be cold and icy outside, but Chantilly Drama is still going strong with our next production!

Come out this weekend to see Merry Men by Kemuel DeMoville; directed by Andy Shaw.

When Maid Marian learns that she has to marry the objectionably evil and incompetent Sheriff of Nottingham, she and her ladies-in-waiting hatch a scheme to hold him at bay: Invent a band of outlaws running amok to keep the Sheriff busy. But what starts as a game of pretend soon blows up into the Sheriff hatching increasingly crazy schemes to catch the bandits, and Marian leading a double life as their leader: Robin Hood. That's right—it's the Robin Hood story as you've never seen it before, with mistaken identities, bumbling henchmen, and wild and wacky sword fights!!

Academic Advising/Course Selection Timeline of Events

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.

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

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
