Enrollment

 

ELIGIBILITY 

Registration must be submitted in the first thirty (30) days of the semester to be considered eligible for enrollment.

At BCVS, we strive to ensure that the virtual setting is the best educational placement for each student enrolled. To be successful, students must be self-motivated and disciplined. Therefore, considerations for eligibility are made on a case by case basis. Full time enrollment is conditional. All students should have and maintain a B average (3.0 grade point average GPA/ 80% in all courses in Edgenuity). All students should complete all assigned coursework, have fewer than 6 absences per school year, and attend all required synchronous Live Lessons. 

All state and BCS attendance policies are followed by BCVS.  Target completion rates in assigned courses are expected to be met and maintained.  Failure to  respond, interact, engage, or meet minimal expectation deadlines will be counted as an absence. Students who accumulate six (6) absences will be required to attend Campus Court and may be required to return to a traditional setting. Students who fall behind in the work will be required to attend in-person labs at the Virtual School until all courses are caught up. Students who do not meet these expectations will not be eligible for continued enrollment in the program. Students are evaluated for enrollment each semester and may not be allowed to re-enroll if expectations have not been met. 

STUDENTS WITH AN EXISTING INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PLAN (IEP): 

Eligibility for students with an IEP is contingent upon availability of identified modifications and accommodations in the virtual learning environment. Bradley County Virtual School staff and the BCS Special Services Team will work collaboratively to assess each situation. 

The following accommodations are AVAILABLE within the Virtual School environment: 

  • Extra time on assignments 
  • Extra time on tests 
  • Abbreviated assignments 
  • Abbreviated tests 
  • Selected Program Read-Alouds

  • Oral tests/quizzes from Teacher 
  • Daily One-on-One instruction 

TRANSFERRING SCHOOLS 

Students may transfer from BCVS to a traditional “brick and mortar” Bradley County School only at the end of each semester (December and May). Within district transfers from BCVS will not occur until that time. If the parent chooses to withdraw from Bradley County Virtual School and Bradley County Schools in order to homeschool, a homeschool affidavit must be filed with Bradley County Schools’ Central Office.
