PE through Virtual Virginia

[Anonymous]

Is this still an option in APS? I seem to remember that they ended this but I’m not sure

[Anonymous]

It was an option as recently as last year. I think it's still an option. I think you'll get the best current info by talking to your counselor at your specific school.

Our counselor told us we won't know if its an option until March-ish. Its not guaranteed each year. If your child is a rising sophomore you'll need to arrange your own drivers ed classes privately if they do not take PE at school.

What reason could APS possibly have for not allowing this?

Its my understanding that it has nothing to do with "allowing"... but availability.

The APS option for PE 1 over the summer is in person at Yorktown. I thought there would be a fully virtual option.

Virtual Virginia offers a fully virtual option.

Bumping this because our middle school counselor sent us a notification that Virtual Virginia will NOT be accepted by APS for PE this year

This is not true. I talked to my counselor on the phone last week.

Go to this link and click on Middle School under the Approved Courses section of the page. PE 9 is in the list of choices once you start filling out the form. You can't take PE through the vendor Edgenuity but can through Virtual Virginia.

Right on the page linked above it says:

Rising 9th grade students may take a World Language course, Health and PE I, or an approved Math course through one of the approved virtual course providers.

The HB principal said at back-to-school night that VV will be an option this summer, but this will be the last year. After that, it has to be the APS course.

Sorry but APS is so all over the place on this issue, I'll believe it when and if it's on their website.

Why would they give a crap if kids use Virtual Virginia. People will flip their shit about that because APS summer school is a lot less flexible and why would APS care to bother to piss all those people off.
