Current Enrollment Options
Our regular enrollment period for Spring ’24 block and yearlong courses has ended, but we still have several options for you.
Transfers – We can accept transfer students after regular enrollment has ended. Transfer students must be enrolled in the class at the face-to-face school, have instructional time with a teacher, and have a grade to transfer in with. We must also have an available seat in the course to accommodate the transfer.
Open a ticket with our Virtual Support Center to transfer students. Be sure to include the following in your ticket:
- student’s name
- PowerSchool ID#
- school name
- transfer grade
- course needed
- any student details that can help the NCVPS teacher
Transfer options will remain open through midterms each semester.
Co-teaching – You can add students throughout the semester to our co-teaching OCS and intervention courses. However, you can only add to existing sections. We can’t open new sections at this point.
PE/Health – Our second session health and PE courses are still open for registration.
Emergency Requests – We understand that unforeseen events can disrupt your regular school operations. Contact our Virtual Support Center for help.
Partnership Courses – You can continue to add students to your partnership courses throughout the semester. We will create a new invoice for you.
Progress Reports Posted
We posted a progress report on Thursday, Feb. 1. Here are a few action steps you can take to support your students:
- Access the Report – Progress reports are posted in the NCVPS registration system. See our Guide for Accessing Grade Reports for details. For the complete details on our grading guidelines, visit our Grades and Testing Quick Reference Guide. Schools have access to our posted progress reports. Parents, facilitators, and mentors can use the Canvas App for Parents to monitor student progress.
- Check Student Progress – If you have any underperforming students, we have several supports ready for you. Students have time to improve their grades, but they should start immediately. If students aren’t showing mastery (80%+), they can use some support.
- Check Teacher Comments – Our teachers will request data that they need from the school, like parent contact information and IEP/504 modifications. They may need the school to contact students if they have stopped logging into the course and do not respond to teacher communications.
- Reach Out to NCVPS Teachers – Reach out to our teachers for your students who need help. Our teachers have a number of support plans and will work with students to help them catch up.
- Return to Campus – If students are working off campus, consider bringing them back into a lab until they are passing. Logging in consistently and working are key to student success.
We have several levels of support for students.
- Student Help Page – If students are having any problems at all and aren’t sure where to find help, they should visit our Student Help page. They are never more than two clicks away from help!
- Peer Tutoring Center – Do not let this resource go unutilized for any student who needs help. There is a link to the Peer Tutoring Center in every course.
- Teacher Communications – Students do not always advocate for themselves very well. Go ahead and reach out to the NCVirtual teacher to see if adjustments can be made for struggling students. Our teachers are eager to help.
- Intervention Strategies – NCVirtual has a list of intervention strategies for districts and schools to follow. These are good for any low-performing, under-performing, or at-risk students. Visit our Intervention Strategies page for details.
- Guide for Parents and Mentors – Most students have someone who wants to help them. It might be a parent, other relative, friend, minister, coach, or mentor, but they don’t know how to help. Try to get our Guide for Parents and Mentors into their hands. It might be the exact kind of help your student needs.
- Virtual Support Center – If you have a complicated support question or problem and don’t know where to start, open a Virtual Support Center ticket. We will escalate your ticket to the right person. Be sure to include the student’s name, PowerSchool ID number, and your school name. If your ticket is about a specific course, please include the course name and teacher name.
Sharing IEP Accommodations
Remember to use the secure feature in our registration system to identify IEP accommodations for students. This is the only method that our teachers can use to collect IEP accommodation data. We are no longer be able to collect IEP accommodations via the phone. This process not only ensures compliance with IEP regulations but also empowers our dedicated teachers to provide the best possible education for our students, tailored to their unique needs.
To help you navigate the new process, we’ve created a how-to video guide: Adding IEP Accommodations to Student Accounts. This video provides a walkthrough of the user-friendly IEP feature in our registration system. Be sure to see our 2023-2024 Stakeholder Accommodation Guide.
Parent Contact Information
NCVPS tasks its teachers to have regular communications with the parents or guardians of their students. However, our teachers often find the contact information in PowerSchool is not accurate. Please help our teachers find update-to-date parent contact information. Our teachers will be reaching out to you, as we rely on schools to provide that information. We are sure your school will need current parent contact information, too!
Contact Information
Let’s make sure your school’s primary contact information is up-to-date in our registration system. If you’re new to NCVPS, we call this role the e-learning advisor, or ELA.
School ELAs should make sure their contact information in the NCVPS registration system is correct. If you are no longer serving in the ELA role, please have the new ELA update the contact page in our registration system. Our teachers will need school contact information right away. See our Updating ELA Contact Information guide for help.
