NCVPS E-lert – Fall Edition VIII – October 11, 2018

A newsletter from a K-12 online learning program from a couple of days ago.

Fall Edition VIII October 11, 2018 Subscribe View as Webpage Greetings, everyone! Our Hurricane Florence recovery plan is underway. After Hurricane Michael clears, we will reassess. Please see the note below on our current recovery plan. We have a SAR Data note in the “2018-2019 Academic Year” section below. In This Edition Hurricane Recovery Plan Enrollment Options After Sept. 10 2018-2019 Academic Year Grade Reporting Calendar Check / Important Links Live Support / Tech Updates Previous News Accessibility Statement Hurricane Recovery Plan Survey We sent a survey yesterday to 28 counties and 30 school districts that were impacted by Hurricane Florence. District leadership will choose between a 10-Day or 20-Day modified plan for students. Or they can choose no modifications if instruction was not interrupted for their online students. These modified plans will relieve students of work (and stress) but will still teach the essential power standards of the course. Additional Options Students will also have the option to take our 2-week extension at the end of the semester if they need additional time. ELAs will need to request that through our Virtual Support Center. Schools also have the option to enroll students in our Flex Learning program, which would give students until the end of the spring semester to complete their courses. If you have students who are not enrolled in NCVPS classes but are unable to return to school or are facing other obstacles, you can transfer them into the course online with NCVPS, providing that we offer the course. Open a ticket with our support center if you wish to request a transfer. Current Fall Enrollment Options Registration for Fall 2018 closed on Sept. 10. However, we will still have a number of fall enrollment options for schools. OCS: Schools can continue to enroll in existing OCS sections throughout the semester. However, we cannot open new OCS sections after Sept. 10. 1/2 Credit Health and 1/2 Credit PE Courses: Registration for our 2nd 9-week health and PE courses will remain open until October 26 for Early Start classes and November 9 for traditional calendar classes. Transfer Students: After Sept. 10, we will begin accepting transfers for students who meet our transfer criteria. Transfer students must already be enrolled in a traditional course at the school with an instructor AND have a grade to transfer in with. We are able to accept transfer students through November 7 for Early Start classes and November 21 for traditional calendar classes. Open a ticket with the Virtual Support Center here: http://www.help.ncvps.org/ and include the following information with your transfer request: 1. Student’s Name 2. Student’s PowerSchool Number 3. Student’s Email 4. Student’s School & District 5. Course transferring in to 6. Transfer Grade (and support plan if needed) 7. Does the student have an IEP? Does the Student have a 504 Plan? Please remember, we must have an open seat in the course to complete the transfer. Flex Learning: Our Flex Learning courses help students who have a special or hardship situation.

NCVPS E-lert – Fall Edition VII – October 4, 2018

A newsletter from a K-12 online learning program from earlier in the week.

Fall Edition VII October 4, 2018 Subscribe View as Webpage Greetings, everyone! Our hurricane recovery plan is being finalized. Please read the note below! In This Edition Hurricane Recovery Plan Enrollment Options After Sept. 10 2018-2019 Academic Year Grade Reporting Calendar Check / Important Links Live Support / Tech Updates Previous News Accessibility Statement Hurricane Recovery Plan Next week, NCVPS will launch its hurricane recovery plan for districts, schools, and students who were impacted by Hurricane Florence. Currently, teachers are being flexible with assignment due dates, and next week we will provide modified coursework and assignments for any students who lost connectivity. Modified Syllabus NCVPS is working on both a 10-Day and 20-Day recovery plan, which would exempt students from either ten or twenty days of assigned work while at the same time maintaining the integrity of their courses. Districts will be able to determine which recovery plan best meets their students’ needs. These modified pathways will relieve students of work (and stress) but will still teach the essential standards of the course. Additional Options Students who are in modified pathways will still have the option to take our 2-week extension at the end of the course if they need additional time. If a student needs more time than that, we can look at transitioning them into our Flex Learning program. This would let them have until the end of the spring semester to finish their courses. If you have already withdrawn students because of the hurricane’s impact, you can have those students reinstated into their courses. Open a ticket with our Virtual Support Center to reinstate a student. If you have students who are not enrolled in NCVPS classes but are unable to return to school or are facing other obstacles, you can transfer them into the course online with NCVPS, providing that we offer the course. Open a ticket with our support center if you wish to request a transfer. Next Steps We will finalize our plans early next week. More details will follow. Be ready to take our survey to determine which modified pathway will meet your students’ needs. Thank you, North Carolina! We know everyone is working extremely hard during this time. We will work together to help students, schools, and districts who were impacted by this hurricane. Current Fall Enrollment Options Registration for Fall 2018 closed on Sept. 10. However, we will still have a number of fall enrollment options for schools.
