Virtual Virginia Summer HPE 9

[Anonymous]

I know there are many posts about summer PE, but my question is specifically for parents who used VVa to obtain this course credit through FCPS. I understand that some schools have difficulty providing a liaison during the summer months, but has anyone tried registering as a “homeschool” parent in order to enroll in the course? This approach would eliminate the need for a summer contact at the high school.

I’m curious what pathways other parents have successfully used to complete this through VVa.

I'm not sure how this would show up on her FCPS transcript if you did it this way.

How else can we get this done?

You should contact your high school. Usually there is one designated teacher who would be the main contact for VVA. They would be able to answer all related questions.

That will not work - you cannot simultaneously be registered at a public school and claim to be a homeschool student.

Every high school should have a VVA liaison (usually a guidance counselor) - contact the school and ask who the liaison is and what the procedure is for registering a student in a summer VVA course. That would be the student's "mentor" for the summer.

The mentors don't actually do anything - they are copied on a bunch of emails throughout the summer course, but they don't have any real mentoring responsibility other than to ensure the student completes the course and then receive the final course results from VVA to be recorded on the student's transcript.

This isn't true. Just as an FYI, VVa allows parents to enroll students during the summer as homeschool student. The parent acts as the 'mentor' and a 'counselor' during that time.
