Thoughts from Principal Hogan

Welcome Height Virtual Learning Academy Families!


We cannot wait to see our returning and new students. The summer has been great, but we are excited about the 2022-2023 school year.


There are important events coming up:

· Remote only students will need to pick up a laptop the week of August 22nd (schedule below). In person students can pick up a laptop the same week too or check one out during their first lab session.


· Students must attend an orientation before beginning regular scheduled labs. A link to sign up for orientation will be emailed next week and students can sign up during Tech Pickup.


  • · Parents/guardians must attend orientation for Kindergarten-5th grades.
  • · Parents/guardians of 6th-9th grade students must attend orientation with their student. Parents of all grade levels are welcome to attend orientations with their student(s)



· Not attending orientation will result in withdrawing the student from Virtual Learning Academy.


We look forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks!


Sincerely,

Deanna Hogan and Kathleen Paradis-Heights Campus administrative team

Attendance Matters

VLA students are required to attend a weekly whole group lab session. This session is important as students recieve direct instruction on self-management and awareness, social awareness, responsible decision making and so much more. In VLA K-5 lab session students have an opportunity to engage with each other and receive additional direct instruction in literacy and math. VLA 6-12 students also meet with the teacher regarding goals and progress toward those goals.


For those VLA 6-12 students coming on campus for their weekly lab session, school attendnace is critical to student academic success. Strong school attendnace is built on at home habits. If your student is ill (Symptoms Flow Chart), do keep them home and then contact the attendance clerk, Jennifer Crooker, at 313-1476
