IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be sure to complete one form for each student that you are planning to enroll in the Virtual Academy; for example, if you have three students in the district and want to enroll all three students in this program, please make sure to fill out three separate forms, one for each student.

As part of the Return to School Plan approved by the P-CCS Board of Education on August 11, all district families may choose to enroll in the P-CCS Virtual Academy, which provides a guaranteed virtual option for the entire 2020-21 school year (with a minimum commitment of one semester in secondary / one trimester in elementary).

Below is some important info about the P-CCS Virtual Academy option:

- Instruction will be provided by P-CCS teachers at all levels.
- Grades K-8 will feature P-CCS curriculum taught by P-CCS teachers.
- Grades 9-12 will feature Michigan Virtual curriculum resources supplemented by P-CCS resources, all taught by P-CCS teachers.
- Instruction will include both synchronous (live and in real time) and asynchronous (not in real time) experiences.
- Scheduled real time support that mirrors our elementary, middle school, and high school 'Safe Start Remote Learning w/ P-CCS' schedules.

All students will need access to devices and connectivity to successfully engage in the P-CCS Virtual Academy option. We will make sure, with no exceptions, that students have what they need to begin the school year. A survey was sent out to families on Monday (August 10) to identify how many students will need a device and/or internet access. Recognizing that our families without internet access may not be able to respond to the survey, we will also begin using phone communication to survey our families this week.
