Winter Break

A Note from Dr. Goodloe:

Dear Chantilly Community,

On behalf of the entire Chantilly Faculty, we wish you a wonderful winter break and hope each of our students and families enjoys time together and to re-CHARGE. We look forward to seeing everyone back in 2026!

Chantilly Highlights This Week:

WE have had a magical week full of spirit and cheer including cocoa with our counselors, spirit days and culminating in our annual Faculty Tacky Sweater contest and celebrating our Winter athletes at our December Pep Rally. We are so proud of our Chargers showing up each day and sharing their spirit and joy.

This past weekend, our robotics team, FTC 9073, Knightrix won first place and was the winning alliance captain at the FTC Baltimore 1 Qualifier. Additionally, they won the 1st place Control Award, a testament to their impressive robot software, specifically the team’s innovative programming, precise automation, and consistent on-field performance. Knightrix was undefeated throughout the competition, eventually advancing to playoffs as the #1 Alliance captain. Their impressive performance qualified them to advance to the Chesapeake District Championships, which will be held from February 7 to 8 in Doswell, VA.

Esports League of Legends won the State Championship over Lightridge on Saturday, December 13!  Congratulations to the team and Coach James Kotula.  This is the 3rd season in a row they have won the State Championship.

Finals:  Chantilly defeated Lightridge 2-1

Semi-Finals: Chantilly defeated Madison 2-1

Video 3: Using AI Wisely for School Success


Checking out early?

The best and most efficient way to check your student out of school early is to send a note with them to take to their Subschool Office in the morning! Or call your child's subschool before 9 a.m. to request early dismissal. You can find the phone numbers at the bottom of this email and on the Chantilly Attendance page.

  • Your student will receive a pass to leave class at the time you specify.
  • You won't need to come inside the school; your student will simply come out to meet you.

Please be aware that if you sign your student out in person, it can take up to 30 minutes for the pass to reach them, making sending a note the quickest option!

Important Reminders:

  • Email is not accepted for reporting absences or early checkouts.
  • If a student becomes sick during the school day, they must be checked out through the clinic, not the Subschool Office.

School Photos are now online!

Families should have received an E-proof via email.

Please remember to check your junk folder!.

For any questions about your student's school pictures please contact: underclass@vosphoto.com

The team at Victor O’Neill Studios would like to thank Chantilly High School for a great picture day!


Volunteer FCPS

Volunteer FCPS Helps Community Members Connect With Schools

The new volunteer management system, Volunteer FCPS, allows individuals to search and register for volunteer opportunities at our school or across the school district. 

Volunteer FCPS is how FCPS provides a safe, consistent, and welcoming environment at all of our schools. Anyone interested in volunteering with FCPS must:

  • Create a profile in Volunteer FCPS. 
  • Register for opportunities through Volunteer FCPS. 
  • Sign in and out of schools using the visitor kiosk on EVERY visit – no exceptions.  

Recent Updates to Volunteer Opportunity Levels

Due to the overwhelming response, FCPS is temporarily pausing fingerprint requirements for most Level 3 volunteers. Those who have already been fingerprinted will be processed to be eligible for all Level 3 opportunities. ​​​​​​​

Field trip chaperone opportunities will now be classified as Level 2 (not requiring a comprehensive background check that includes fingerprinting). 

To ensure continuous safety, all new volunteers are required to sign a Volunteer Certification Statement. This statement is a legal confirmation that you have no history of violent felonies, physical or sexual crimes against children, or crimes of moral turpitude (dishonesty, fraud, things that are immoral by society’s standards).

Visit the Volunteer FCPS website to complete a volunteer orientation. View Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about the volunteer levels.
