What resources are available to help me in my role as Learning Coach?
The Students and Guardians Webpage has links to materials to help you help your student.
Does a virtual student get a laptop?
Yes– a district-issued Chromebook will be provided and the WSD Acceptable Use Policy is still in place for a WVA student.
Will grab and go lunches be available for a virtual student?
We are currently exploring this option.
Can a virtual student transfer back into the brick and mortar school?
We would like virtual students in grades 6-12 to commit to one semester (mid January 2021) since Edgenuity courses are divided into semesters. For students in grades K-5 we would like a commitment to one trimester (mid November 2020). A student can drop an Edgenuity course up to 15 days after enrollment, after that time frame, a student will need to stay in
the course through the end of the semester/trimester.
What resources are available to students with an IEP?
All special education and related services will be available to students with IEPs, however those supports may look different than they have in the past, with a combination of virtual meetings, teletherapy and/or in person appointments as determined by the IEP team.
How will a student be supported and receive FAPE?
If the virtual option is selected as the 20-21 option for instruction, the IEP team will need to review the supports and services required as part of the IEP and determine how to best meet those needs through a combination of virtual or in-person services.
How will a GIEP student be supported?
Students receiving support through a GIEP would still be able to receive supports as designed by the GIEP team either virtually or in person.
Will the school provide technology/wifi for students in virtual?
If WIFI is needed, please contact your student’s home building.
Is there a deadline to enroll my student?
We are asking for a commitment by August 25th so we can get your student enrolled.
Will there be a training class for guardians on the technology and software?
There will be communications provided to the students regarding how to access the content which they can share with their guardians.
