NEW: Motorized and electric powered devices prohibited on school grounds
Regulation Updated to Prohibit Operation of E-Bikes/E-Scooters on School Property
To promote safety on school property, particularly during arrival and dismissal when cars, school buses, pedestrians, bicycles, and other traffic converge, FCPS Regulation 8610 has been updated to address motorized and electric-powered devices on school property.
Motorized and electric-powered devices — electric bicycles (e-bikes), electric scooters (e-scooters), hoverboards, motorized skateboards, mopeds, Segways, and similar devices — may not be operated on school property. Individuals traveling to and from school on either traditional or electric bikes, scooters, etc. should dismount them when reaching the school property line before walking them and parking them in their designated area. When leaving school, they should be walked to the school property line before being used and not ridden until they are off school property.
This regulation does not apply to wheelchairs or other mobility devices which are being used as mobility aids or as disability-related accommodations. Read more details in section 10c of FCPS Regulation 8610.
School Start Time Survey
School Start Times Survey Headed Your Way
FCPS is continuing to explore options for adjusting school start times, with the goal of implementing healthy school start times that are budget neutral, where possible, and minimize impacts on staff. Your feedback remains an important part of this conversation.
At a School Board work session on November 10, staff presented recommendations for K-12 school start times. They also shared that a survey is being sent to families and staff on Tuesday, November 17.
The survey will close on Tuesday, December 1. The School Board plans to review the results in December and take action later that month. Learn more about the K-12 School Start Times project..
Attendance Matters - Every Student, Every Day!
Help Your Child Succeed at School
Just a few missed days of school here and there can add up. Lost learning time is an issue in every grade, from kindergarten to high school. Below are some ways to support your child:
- Help your child maintain routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
- Check in with them to see if they feel connected, included, and able to take part in learning at school. If challenges are affecting their school day, contact their teachers or counselors to discuss support.
- Follow their assignments and grades in Schoology and ParentVUE. Reach out to teachers for help if necessary, and make sure teachers know how to contact you.
- Encourage meaningful after-school activities, including sports and clubs.
Looking ahead to the holiday season, if missing school is unavoidable, talk to your child’s teachers in advance to create a plan
If you or your family need any kind of support, please reach out to our front office. We are here for you! Visit FCPS’ Attendance webpage for tips and strategies. for making up missed work. But remember, a homework packet cannot make up for the interaction and learning that goes on in the classroom.
If you need to submit an absence, visit our Chantilly attendance webpage.

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!
