Chantilly A/B Day Calendar
Charger Students and Families,
What a great start to the school year! I want to extend a huge thank you to all our students, families, and staff for a wonderful and successful first week. It has been a true joy to have our hallways and classrooms filled with the energy and enthusiasm of our students again. I'm so impressed with how everyone has embraced new routines, from navigating classes to adjusting to the new cell phone policy. The engagement and care for our school community have been outstanding, and it's inspiring to see the connections students and teachers are already building. Together, we truly lead the charge in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where everyone can thrive. Let's keep this momentum going as we head into an amazing school year.
Please read important updates below related to cell phone/personal device expectations, weapons screening implementation, and attendance.
FCPS’ Cell Phone Policy: Why It Matters:
FCPS’ cell phone policy helps students focus, learn, and engage. When students put their phones away, they have more face-to-face interactions with their peers and teachers and more opportunities to develop resilience and problem-solving skills. Please remind your child that:
- Cell phones and personal devices (airpods, earbuds, headsets, other items connected to the internet) must be off and away for the entire school day (bell to bell).
- Smart watches that serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited.
If you need to reach your child during the school day, please call our main office at 703-222-8100 or call the subschool directly, contact information below. Learn more about FCPS’ cell phone and personal device policy.

🔍 See Where Your Child Goes Online With Lightspeed
Parents can access their child’s activity on FCPS devices through Lightspeed, the school division’s internet content filtering service. Parents may sign up for a weekly Parent Report, which will provide a list of the top sites their child visited.
The report also offers parents the ability to sign up for the Internet Use Parent Portal. Through the portal, parents may pause their child’s access to the internet on their FCPS device during non-school hours.
Learn more about Lightspeed Parent Reports.
☑️ Weapons Detection System Update:
In our latest effort to strengthen our layered safety and security programs, FCPS piloted a weapon screening system across our high schools last spring. This weapon screening system will be expanded to all middle and high schools this fall. Learn more on the weapons detection frequently asked questions page.
Please Watch this video explaining weapons screening process.
