A Note from Dr. Goodloe:

Dear Chantilly Community,

WE hope to see many of you tomorrow morning as Chantilly hosts the Liz's Sky Foundation memorial 5K in memory of Chantilly student Liz Chong. The weather promises to be perfect and the community support great as we come together to remember a life well lived and support several important causes.  See registration information above. Please carpool and use overflow parking at Greenbriar West ES and the Chantilly Park lot across Stringfellow Road.

We also wish the best of luck to our bands, orchestras, and choral groups as they perform in all state concerts and at asessments over the coming weekend and weeks. Go Chargers!

Academic Advising for 2026 to 2027:

Course Videos, Course Catalog, and Academic Advising Site is available for student and parent review.

Rising Sophomore Advising Zoom - Virtual Meeting Recording 

Course Selection Deadlines- Revised Dates

We have revised our course selection deadlines as outlined below to account for the weather closures earlier this month:  

March 16, 2026 - Last day to submit a course request including schedule changes or enrolling in a summer school course.  Failure to notify the counselor of enrollment may result in the student not being enrolled in the proper level course and seats may not be available if notification occurs after March 16.  Please note that the deadline to enter a course request for a Fairfax or Chantilly HS academy course will remain March 6, 2026.


Academic Advising Mini Conferences

With the weather-related school closures, we extended our academic advising schedule through March 13.  Students have until March 16 to finalize course requests for next year.  Students who want to take an academy course must still let their counselor know by March 6 so that they can be entered in the academy registration portal. Unfortunately, with the extension of advising, we couldn’t secure space for mini conferences in early March. All parents have access to their student’s course requests through SIS ParentVUE. Should you have any questions about your student’s course selections, please feel free to contact your student’s counselor or Amy Parmentier DSS at agparmentier@fcps.edu.

Directions for Accessing Course Requests

Attendance: Be PRESENT!

At Chantilly, we believe the best learning happens when our entire community is present.  We value the importance of family time and also want to share a reminder regarding the Virginia Compulsory Attendance Law.

Under state guidelines, vacations are classified as elective absences, which are recorded as unexcused absences.  In these cases, the parent supports the absence but this does not qualify them under state-mandated reporting of excused absences.  VAC 8VAC20-720-10 defines an unexcused absence as any absence where the parent or caregiver’s reason is “unacceptable to the school administration.” Given the compulsory attendance law and that vacations are an elective absence–regardless of whether they were pre-arranged or not–it falls under the unexcused category.  Families are encouraged to plan trips and vacations during designated school holidays to minimize absences during school hours and ensure uninterrupted instruction.

We urge parents and guardians to collaborate with our school support teams to encourage consistent attendance. Together, we can ensure every student receives the high-quality education they deserve.

Thank you for your continued support!

You can refer to the FCPS attendance page for more information about attendance codes and other attendance-related matters: FCPS Attendance Policies.


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. Sending a note is always 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, or by text with the student..

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.
