As we approach the halfway mark of the school year, we have learned many things together. We appreciate all the support and patience as we work through virtual learning. We are more than happy that you have joined us at Advanced Virtual Academy on this new journey!
November Changes
We have moved onto only taking scholar's attendance in Schoology AND Zoom for all grades. Teachers are posting daily activities/assignments for scholars to participate in as a form of attendance in Schoology. In addition, in order for scholars in grades K-8 to be counted as present in their classes, they are REQUIRED to attend scheduled Zoom meetings.
Attendance Survey
Your scholar's virtual attendance is important to us and we want to know how to assist in ensuring that they are present on Zoom AND Schoology daily. Please fill out the survey below and let us know in what areas you are needing support.
