[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For your first question (VV v. ACE for gym):

It’s up to the individual high school. Even with VV, a local counselor at the HS is assigned to oversee the course. Some FCPS HSs don’t do this, and therefore no VV classes can be taken. That’s why those schools only allow summertime online pe to be through FCPS’ ACE program. [/quote]

DC’s school told her no because VV requires someone to oversee the student or something and they didn’t have anyone that would do that and wouldn’t let us as parents do it.

We did get approval to take a Keystone Academy asynchronous summer PE class though and that was great. Way better than the FCPS one she had to do the next year (keystone doesn’t have the drivers ed element). [/quote]

Can you share more about Keystone Academy? My child isn't able to take PE through ACE during the summer because of a conflict in July. Is there a website for Keystone, and is the class P/F, or did your child receive a letter grade?[/quote]

Virtual Virginia has an asynchronous option. That might be helpful in working around the July conflict (we have one as well, which is why we chose VV instead of Ace).[/quote]

Thanks! I checked into Virtual Virginia, but Session 1 conflicts with the end of this academic year. I was concerned that my child would be in the middle of exams + taking that PE class online -- it might be too much. I thought maybe Keystone Academy could be the answer ....[/quote]

She can't take Session 2 PE? That's what my DD is doing. She didn't want to do Session 1 for similar reasons. We have a week long vacation scheduled in the middle of Session 2, but she should still be able to login for an hour a day, and get her 30 minutes of exercise in.[/quote]
