Districts and Charter Schools,
Please forward this E-lert to your school-level stakeholders. We often have enrollment information for counselors, grades for data managers, tips for lab facilitators, announcements for testing coordinators, and strategies for school leaders, all of whom support your district's and school's e-learning efforts. If you are having difficulty viewing this email, you may view it as a web page here.

Catalog Updates
Our 2018-2019 Course Catalog is posted online.
We have a few courses that are undergoing revisions, and they will not be offered next year.
Arabic 1 and 2 Update
Please note in our catalog for next year's classes that we are revising our Arabic courses. We will not offer Arabic 1 next year. We will offer Arabic 2 in the fall semester only, and then it will be archived for revisions.
If you have a student who needs Arabic 2, the fall semester is the only time that it will be offered.

| Live Online Support for Facilitators |
Dates and Times: Mondays from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
Accessories: headphones, a microphone, or a headset
Details
NCVPS will maintain live online support on Mondays from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm to answer questions and resolve problems for facilitators. Drop in any time during that hour for questions you might have. We are looking for additional ways to support our school and at-home facilitators, and, as always, you can also contact us any time by opening a ticket with the
Virtual Support Center
.
Who are facilitators? Anyone who might have direct contact with NCVPS students. This could be lab facilitators, e-learning advisors, graduation coaches, tutors, and parents. We've had a lot of experience facilitating NCVPS students and working with other facilitators.
We won't be able to fix technical problems during this hour, but we can help you open a ticket with our Virtual Support Center. Sometimes explaining the problem clearly helps the tech team fix your technical issues.
To communicate during the office hours, you will need headphones, a microphone, or a headset. The headphones help cancel out any echo while you're talking.
You may be prompted to install the adobe application.
Thank you and see you there!

| NCVPS AP Test Code |
 We would like to request that ELAs contact their school's AP testing coordinator to remind them about the NCVPS school code when students take their AP tests.
Please have students input the NCVPS code (045) into the 'Online Provider Code' found on Page 1, Item G, of the student's AP answer sheet during administration of the exam. This will allow NCVPS to receive a copy of their May 2018 test scores for our records. These scores are needed as part of the accountability piece for NCVPS.

Help Desk Issues with Certain Emails
Chrome Update
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More .
- Click Help
- Click About Chrome
- Relaunch
If you have had your password reset through the Virtual Support Center, the new password will not expire unless you have reset it again. Occasionally, multiple people will request a student's password to be reset (i.e. the student, ELA, lab facilitator, and/or parent), so the password is reset multiple times. This, of course, causes confusion. It's always best if only one person requests a password reset for a student.
If you have forgotten what your password was reset to, you can look up the help desk ticket to access the new password or click on "Forgot Password" on the course login page.
Student Email Confirmations in Canvas
Students should make sure that NCVPS teachers have their correct email addresses, and those email addresses should be confirmed in our Canvas learning management system. This will allow students to receive messages from their teachers and peers in the course forum.
Here's how to confirm student email addresses in Canvas:
Click on "settings" on your name in the upper right side of your course.
Click on "Add Email Address" under Ways to Contact on the right of screen.
Add your correct email if Canvas is not displaying your correct email.
Click on "Register email."
Click the star next to your correct email address.
