Sounds like a great Counselor willing to help the students. Our MS counselor just reiterated what the website said - Slots are full


You can do that yourself, all the counselor needs to do is send you a form. They should do that if you ask. We liked that one bc it's entirely asynchronous.


I don’t think that is true for FCPS. You need approval from someone in FCPS to sign up for virtual VA because it is an exception to the norm of the FCPS class they want people to take as the default.

Whatever you do DOCUMENT it. We got something approved by our base MS and then later ran into issues with the TJ counselor questioning it. But we had already sent her the base school approval and gotten her to ok it before summer (she forgot though later). Keep you emails.


We are at Langley High, and the counselor recommended Excel high school- virtual and fully asynchronous for summer PE. You tell them you want this, they send you a form indicating the school, and that was it for us. Pretty painless...

This is so helpful, thank you! Trying to get PE out of the way for upcoming TJ freshman but have conflicts with the daily zoom portion of FCPS PE.

Hi! Is this PE 9 or PE 10 from Excel?

Since Virtual Loudoun slots are full I asked the MS counselor if we can enroll in Virtual Virginia. She said they are not supporting the Virtual Virginia program in LCPS this year and cannot enroll my DD.

We are APS but in APS you have to work through your school to get a Virtual Virginia account setup and get enrolled for the class. Talk to your counselor.

Oh Virtual Virginia. My bad I thought it is Virtual Loudoun program. I believe you cannot directly create an account in Virtual Virginia and slot availability is not known.

Any insight into whether FCPS or Virtual Virginia summer PE is better? Can an FCPS student take summer PE through LCPS or PWCS?
