    Students who want to enroll in virtual instruction for the 2021-22 school year must meet certain prerequisites. These include:

     

    • Internet meets KCS requirements (Internet assistance is available by calling the IT customer service line at 594-4484);
    • Student tests in-person (Applies to state assessments and could also include diagnostic testing for special education, RTI screening, etc.);
    • Parent/Guardian completes an orientation on virtual instruction and signs an agreement;
    • Parent/Guardian attends school-specific / program-specific orientation;
    • Elementary students must have an identified “Learning Coach” who provides supervision for virtual students throughout the day; and
    • Parent/Guardian must go by base schools to pick up additional materials.

     

    A student’s prior academic performance will be considered. These factors include teacher recommendations, academics, work habits, attendance, credits earned (high school). Students must not have received an F as a final grade in a core academic class during Fall 2020. If a student does not meet the prerequisites, a family can appeal to their principal.
