The "supervision" doesn't mean anything--it is strictly if your high school has a counselor who will register you and then process the grade at the end--they don't actually do anything during. But apparently some high schools won't register you so that is a question for your counselor.

Apparently it requires someone to like supervise” the student’s progress and although the VVA language seemed to suggest this can be a parent out HS refused to let us do it and also refused to designate a staff person as that connection point.

We got approval to do Keystone Academy. It was awesome. Fully asynchronous and much more workable for those with other stuff going on in the summer. I heard the Loudoun program might also be better but did not try that - maybe FCPS would allow that too.

We signed up last-year in May - I think that's when the summer registration begins. We let the counselor know and after signing up she freed a spot for DD to add another class.

Also, we did need a fitness watch (fitbit, apple watch, etc.) to track the mandatory daily heart-zones.

Thank you from OP! I wasn't sure when or how to sign up and wanted to make sure we don't miss the window or find out it's already full. Haven't been super happy with communication from the middle school and haven't heard a peep from the high school yet about next year (9th grade). Also we are looking at summer enrichment programs for DD who rightly pointed out that they want to do summer P.E. but not sure if she can while at an intensive summer camp so trying to get my ducks in a row. Thank you!

Ask your counselor if there is an alternative summer P.E. program that is not the regular fcps one that your child can take so that she can also do the intensive summer camp (answer: there is. You just have to know to ask for it. It’s entirely online asynchronous and is much faster and less time consuming than the one that requires a fit but and daily synchronous checkins)
