FCPS SY27 Calendar


A Note from Dr. Goodloe:

Hello, Chantilly Families and Students,

Our Chargers are finishing the first quarter with plenty of positive energy! This week, we celebrated the Class of 2027 seniors who took the field for flag football, and we congratulate field hockey and cheer on advancing to their regional tournaments. We’re also proud of Chantilly Journalism and Media for earning VHSL’s Charles Savage recognition for consistent excellence in at least five of the past seven years. During today’s classroom walks and learning visits, I was proud to hear students explain what they are learning, how their work supports their growth, and how they know when they are successful—a reflection of our schoolwide focus on learning targets and student success. This weekend, we look forward to seeing our community at the fall production of Clue, the Haunted House, and Trunk or Treat, with surprises and scares for all ages. Let’s keep that Charger spirit charged up!

Renovation Queue Survey

Share Your Thoughts on Schools and Buildings in the Renovation Queue SurveyThe Office of the Chief of Facilities Services and Capital Programs is seeking input from community members, families, and employees about school facility needs and how FCPS prioritizes facility improvements. 

Whether you work in an FCPS school, have a child enrolled, or live near an FCPS school, please share your perspective. The survey asks about building conditions, how facilities affect teaching and learning, renovation priorities, and what information would help you better understand this process.

Look for the survey in your email on Friday, October 16. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and all responses will be kept confidential. The survey will remain open until Saturday, October 31. 

Did You Know? Bond Referendums Fund Facility Renovations

FCPS does not pay for facility renovations out of its general operating budget. Instead, Fairfax County voters decide on how much money FCPS can spend on capital improvement projects through bond referendums. Bonds are issued by the county to the school division and allow FCPS to renovate buildings without increasing taxes.

Learn more about bond referendums and how they support our schools on the Bond Referendum webpage.


Fairfax County is in the very early concept stage of exploring the possibility of redeveloping the Chantilly Regional Library site to include a new regional library, affordable housing, and a new technical operations facility.  Learn More. This page contains information on the project and a FAQ page.


Marching Band, Drumline, and Color Guard Practice

When the parking lot between the school and baseball field is being used by the Marching Band, Drumline, and Color Guard for practice (generally after school between 3:30 to 9 p.m.), please do not drive on any part of it.  This boundary is marked by cones and barriers while these teams practice and driving into this area risks both the safety of our students as well as potential damage to the team’s instruments, equipment, and electronics.  A map outlining this boundary is included below.

2026-27 AP Test Registration, Opt-Out Timeline, and Fees

As part of the FCPS Approved Budget, the fees for the first six AP tests taken for courses in which students are enrolled for high school credit will be paid for by FCPS. Students taking AP tests without enrolling in the corresponding FCPS course are responsible for the test fee(s). 

FCPS encourages all students to take AP tests for courses in which they are enrolled. However, students will have the opportunity to opt out of the test(s) by filling out an Opt Out form to be provided by Homeroom teachers. To assist in the decision-making process, students will be provided a report with their previous tests and current AP course enrollment. 

Regardless of FCPS opt out decision, students enrolled in any AP course must register for their associated AP test(s) in AP Classroom by October 30th. Instructions for this process have been provided by classroom teachers. Students who register after this date may incur a $40 late registration fee. Students who do not register by March 12th will not be able to take the exam(s) and applicable assessed exam fees will not be refunded. 

AP students must make Opt Out decisions by October 30th. Student accounts will be billed in December for tests that exceed the six FCPS-funded tests. The nonrefundable fees are $99 per AP exam.

Senator Stella Pekarsky's 2027 Youth Leadership Program

High School Leadership Program

Virginia State Senator Stella Pekarsky is offering students the opportunity to participate in their High School Leadership Program this upcoming legislative session! This program gives high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to visit Richmond during the General Assembly's legislative session and learn about political leadership on the state level. Students will be able to observe committee hearings and floor debate, take a tour of the state capitol, participate in panels with lobbyists, advocates, and political leaders, as well meet lawmakers and their staff. This is a great opportunity for students considering a future career in government, politics, or law - but all are encouraged to apply.

The application is open to junior and senior students until Sunday, November 25 at 6:00 p.m. Spots are limited, so students should expect to be notified about their status following the closing of the application. Please note that priority will be given to students who reside within the 36th Senate District of Virginia.  This s the link to the application, including more details and program dates: Stella Pekarsky's 2027 High School Youth Leadership Program Application

Please note that this is a free program and students will be provided with transportation, lodging, and meals at no cost to them or their families.

Registration is not required, but it helps with planning. 


Early DISMISSAL REMINDERS:

If your early dismissal request for your student is submitted to the Attendance Office by 10:00 A.M., you do not have to enter the building for your student to be released. You may choose to remain in your vehicle or wait outside the building. Your student will be issued a physical check-out pass that allows them to leave the building on their own.

Students are required to show their check-out pass to their class period teacher to be released from class and/or exit the school building at their scheduled dismissal time.

It is the student’s responsibility to pick up their pass during:

  • A hallway transition time (in-between classes)
  • Before 11:20 A.M. (before lunches start)

Please remind your student of their scheduled early dismissal and to pick up their pass. The Attendance Office cannot provide reminders to each student with an early dismissal. Thank you!
