Read your feedback
Students in a "virtual building" need to follow certain rules. As a Georgia Virtual School student, you must conduct yourself with the highest standards of honesty.
Any attempt to cheat, plagiarize, falsify information, or receive credit for work you did not do will be considered dishonest behavior and will be dealt with accordingly by the instructor, facilitator, and the Georgia Virtual School Program administration. Unless your teacher expressly states otherwise, all work must be original and entirely the student's own work without any outside help, which includes other students, parents, textbooks, internet or any other outside source. Assignments that require documentation and/or references must adhere to guidelines presented by the teacher. When in doubt, clarify with your teacher before beginning an assignment or submitting it.
Academic dishonesty and the sending/creating/posting of any inappropriate material will result in one or more of the following actions:
● Loss of grade points
● Disciplinary action via local school in accordance with local school or district policy
● Removal from the course
● Failure to receive credit for the course
● Loss of eligibility to take future Georgia Virtual School courses.
Academic honesty is very important to your success as an online learner.
Teacher Response Time
Email Response Time:
Teachers check their email daily, Monday through Friday, and will respond to you within one school day.
Do not expect your teacher to respond during the weekend or on listed Georgia Virtual School holidays. In the event that you do not receive a reply, please email him/her once more.
If you do not receive a response after two attempts and 48 hours, call your teacher.
Phone Response Time:
Teachers check their phone voicemails daily, Monday through Friday, and will respond to you within one school day.
Do not expect your teacher to respond during the weekend or on listed Georgia Virtual School holidays.
If you do not receive a response, please phone your teacher once more. The teacher’s contact information can be found in the Teacher Information widget on the course homepage or the course syllabus. If no phone response within 48 hours, please contact your facilitator immediately.
Grade Response Time:
Please allow a turnaround time of three school days after submitting an assignment during fall and spring semesters and one school day during summer semester; although you will often receive your grade sooner. For major projects, teachers may indicate a longer turnaround time for grading. Teachers will notify students when additional time is required to assess assignments such as projects.
You are encouraged to work ahead in your course. If you do so, your teacher will still grade your assignments within three school days.
Keep the turnaround time in mind when planning your schedule so that you can turn in assignments and still allow time for feedback.
