Welcome and Important Updates from Principal Hogan
We are so excited to welcome our students back on site for lab sessions. Lab session are 2.5 hours long and allow for direct instruction and additional support for students. Students will be notified of their lab session during Orientations next week. Students with medical conditions who are unable to attend in person without jeopardizing their health can request a waiver from the in person requirement by completing this FORM.
Orientations start next week (see calendar link below) and are mandatory for new and returning students and offered several times throughout the week. Sign up for an Orientation slot HERE . Orientations are on site and last about 2 hours. Students will pick up their laptop at that time. A caring adult needs to attend orientations with students in 6th through 9th grade. Orientation is the students' first day of participation in VLA and is important to set students on a path to success.
Something new and long awaited, we now have bus transportation to Heights Campus. Buses will pick up students at their home and drop them at Heights. The addition of transportation did require us to make a big adjustment to our schedule to align with the school districts early release Monday schedule. As a result, VLA weekly labs will be scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. There will not be labs on Monday.
For AM labs, a bus will arrive at 8:45 and pick up at 11:30. For PM labs, the bus will arrive at 12:30 and pickup at 3:15. You will find the schedule HERE. Transportation will contact you with your pick-up and drop-off times. If you haven't already, request transportation through this form.
2023-2024 is a great year to parnter with Virtual Learning Academy @ Heights Campus. We look forward to working with you to support student learning. The first step is to particpate in VLA Orientations. Students and families will meet with teachers and prepare for the school year, including picking up their laptop. We look forward to seeing you then.
Regards,
Deanna Hogan
Heights Campus Principal

Attendance Matters
When it comes to learning, every single school day counts. Research shows that attendance plays an important role in academic success, which affects success in life. Simply put, students must attend school in order to benefit from it.
Just two missed days of school every month, for any reason, can cause a child to suffer academically and decrease the chances that he or she will graduate. Absences add up—and subtract from learning.
Volunteering
We look forward to working with you.
