Important Tips for LEGs....
- When creating a new student account, make sure to include a valid email for the student. Once the student account is created the student automatically receives an email with their username and password. The email needs to allow the student to receive communications from outside vendors (ie: WVS log in credentials, WVS teacher communications). Click here for the WVS Technology Readiness Document which provides more information about recommended browsers, white listing URL's and Google Documents, etc.
- The selected start date of a course is the date that the course will be activated for the student and the date the 28 day trial period will start.
- When placing Drop Requests, please make sure to select "Waiting Review" under status. Otherwise, WVS will not see the request and it may not be processed in a timely manner. Click here for our Drop Policy.
- Log in credentials for students do not change with a new school year. If you have a returning WVS student who does not remember their credentials, log in to your LEG account, find and click on that student, click re-send credentials from their home page. This will re-send their username/password to their email.

On average, students' online course scores are higher in schools where students complete the online orientation course!
- No students complete orientation course: average academic score is 74%.
- All students successfully complete online course: average academic course score is 83%.
- That's a 9% difference in final grades! WOW!
High rates of Online Student Orientation Course completion:
- are associated with stronger student performance in online academic courses
- students have information about what they need to be successful in the online course
- Local Education Guides (LEGs) are "on the ball"!!
When entering course requests, please remember to request the Student Orientation course for all of your students! They will have access to the course for one year... so they can refer back to it as a resource.
