If you have questions about a virtual academy, go to the FAQ sheet the district compiled first. An answer to your question might already be there. 


The deadline to apply for virtual school is August 1, but the district might give parents more time to consider.

"We may be able to extend the deadline beyond August 1," Chief Academic Officer Dr. Whitney Oakley said. "But we also have to build our staffing plan and makes sure we have the right number of teachers for the students who register so we are encouraging parents to register now if they are interested."
