Two Types of Hours
Attendance Hours go on the Attendance Cards (see one pictured above). The Attendance Cards are shared with students and also with parents if they give us a gmail account. VOS receives funding for these hours - VOS "gets paid" for these hours. Credit Hours are the hours that get converted into credits. Credit Hours do not always match attendance hours. You will see this with the five VOS online courses (OWE, Goal Setting, The Community Service Course, and My 10 Year Plan).
