Dear Chantilly Community,
WE have been so happy to have our Chargers back at school! Thank you for your patience, understanding and support as we have navigated adjusted schedules, grading timelines, rescheduled events and traffic challenges due to the icy weather.

Course Selection Deadlines- Revised Dates
Well, this snowcrete is impacting our academic advising deadlines. We are revising our course selection deadlines as outlined below.
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.
National School Counseling Week!
February 2-6 is National School Counseling Week! School counselors help students thrive and examine their abilities, strengths, interests and talents; they work in partnership with families as they encounter challenges of raising children in today’s world; focus on positive ways to enhance students’ academic, career, and social/emotional development; and work with teachers and other educators to provide an education system where students can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic and optimistic aspirations for themselves. School counselors are certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling. The combination of their training and experience make them an integral part of the total educational program. As the number of students with mental health concerns increases, our counselors and clinical team are working in close collaboration with teachers and families to help kids return to wellness and academic engagement.
Our commitments to our students, families and faculty are:
- Chantilly HS Student Services Department encourages every student to find their voice and explore their strengths and interests so that they are equipped to lead fulfilling, healthy, and productive lives
- The mission of CHS Student Services Department is to prepare students to succeed as learners and as global citizens. We work collaboratively with parents and teachers to support each student as they find their pathway through high school and beyond
Thank you to our wonderful team of School Counselors (Michelle Ranere, Danielle Savastano, JP Sousa, Megan Sullivan, Sarah Snyder, Bobby Cardozo, Shuntina Taylor, Becky Clonts, Dwayne Peyton, Alexa Scott, Stephanie Yi, Roselyn Abrigo, Sean McCoart, & Hollie Porcella), our College and Career Specialist (Maggie Rodriguez), and our clinical team (Kristina Crawford, Amy Deemer, Susan Daly, Danielle Magagnoli, Diane Ross,& Nick Thayer) for all of the work that they do here at Chantilly High School and within our community!
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. I look forward to connecting with you at Chantilly very soon.
Sincerely,
Amy T. Goodloe, Ed.D.

Enhancing Safety and Security for Staff and Students
School safety and security are being enhanced across FCPS with a new emergency management system. The system includes sensors installed in schools and a wearable emergency response button (ERB) for staff.
The button allows staff to quickly and discreetly request help and, once pressed, they provide location information within the school. The ERB will only work on school grounds and does not rely on cellular service. It is not meant to replace calling 911, but is an additional safety tool that can be used if calling 911 may not be safe or practical.
Learn more about the emergency management system. You may submit questions to the FCPS Chief of Safety and Security Office

You've probably heard of artificial intelligence (AI), but what is it? And is it something your kids should use? While generative AI tools can have benefits, there are also risks. Gain a better understanding of what it is, how it works, and how your kids are using AI for school and personally. Join Common Sense Media, in partnership with AT&T, to get hands-on activities and resources that position parents over algorithms as the most important influencers in your child's life, along with guidance on using AI safely and responsibly.

Welcome back, Chargers! As we gear up for the second half of the school year, we want to highlight the vital role regular attendance plays in student success. Our community thrives when young minds are present, nurtured, and engaged; every day in the classroom is a building block for your student’s development.
Many families may not realize that any day missed for any reason (whether excused or unexcused) counts toward a student’s chronic absenteeism rate. Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 10% or more of the school year. To put this into perspective, this equates to only 4 to 5 days per quarter!
To keep you informed, every family will soon receive an Attendance Report Card. This summary will include total days enrolled, total absences (excused and unexcused), and the overall absence percentage for the year so far. Please know that these updates are intended as another communication tool, not a judgment on the validity of your family's specific circumstances.
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!
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, or by text with the student..
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 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.
