FCPS SY27 Calendar
Hello, Chantilly Families and Students,
It has been an outstanding week of learning at Chantilly HS. As we enter the second half of quarter one, I continue to be inspired by the active learning and teaching I see in classrooms each day. As our administrators and teacher leaders visit classrooms, we are focused on ensuring that students know what they are expected to learn, do, and how they will know if they are being successful. The engagement and work of the students in each class is critical and we check-in with the following questions related to content learning targets: Students are asked:
- What are you learning today?
- How is this task/activity supporting your learning?
- How will you know if you are making progress?
We hosted FCPS Superintendent, Dr. Reid for classroom visits earlier this week. It was a pleasure to highlight the high levels of engagement and learning happening in our school. See her reflections posted on Instagram on two of the classrooms she visited above and below. I am so proud of our Charger faculty and students!
Blue Star Welcome Week
Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate, and schools are a primary way they get integrated into their new location. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
We welcomed and celebrated our military-connected families at CHS with a Blue Star Fall Sweet Treats on Friday afternoon. Thank you to all in our community who serve our country - we are so happy to have you as a part of the Charger family.
Custodian Appreciation Day - TODAY!
We are grateful to the Chantilly team of custodians who maintain our building and grounds and keep our school a safe and clean building for our students, staff and the community. Our staff and SGA celebrated our custodians today with lunch, sweet treats and cards. Please thank a custodian the next time you visit us!
PSAT/SAT Day - Wednesday, October 7

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.
2027 AP Testing
Reference the College Board AP exam dates site for dates of AP Exams.
Calendar Update and Family Feedback
Calendar Change: Eid al-Fitr
FCPS will mark the beginning of Eid al-Fitr with an evening-only observance day on Monday, March 8. There will be school on this day, but major school-sponsored events and activities (such as auditions or tryouts) will not take place.
Tuesday, March 9, will be a holiday for students and staff.
Wednesday, March 10, will be an observance day. There will be school on this day, but certain activities that cannot be made up (major tests, field trips, or mandatory events) will not take place.
A new school year calendar has been published, which includes this change. Please note that holidays and observances on the calendar may shift due to anticipated lunar sightings.
Safe Routes to School Parent and Caregiver Survey
As part of the Fairfax County School Board’s Annual School-Based Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Assessment, the FCPS Office of Safety and Security and Safe Routes to School program are inviting parents and caregivers to share their experiences traveling to and from school.
The Traffic and Pedestrian Safety Survey asks about walking and biking routes, traffic near schools, kiss and ride experiences, accessibility, and other safety concerns.
Your feedback will help FCPS identify common issues. Your responses will be kept confidential and shared with school administrators and the Office of Safety and Security. The five-minute survey is open through Thursday, October 15.
Be sure to identify the school related to your feedback and include specific locations where you have observed a safety issue. If you have students at different schools in FCPS, please complete a different survey for each school.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact SafeRoutestoSchool@fcps.edu.
