VSA
Virtual School Administrator (VSA)
From the FOCUS portal, you will be able to then access VSA. You will see an overview of your classes, including the current grades and percentage complete in each class. You will click on any class in VSA in order to proceed to the third and final system, which is called Educator.
You will not see any specific lessons or assignments in VSA; that information is accessible only in Educator.
In order to view specific lessons, assignments, and full gradebooks, you must be logged in through the student’s account. In the parent/guardian account, only FOCUS and VSA are accessible.
Accessing VSA
To pass through from FOCUS to VSA, you will click on the flvs:VSAconnect button in the Focus Portal.
Note: You will not be able to access courses until the 1st day of school.
VSA Student Dashboard
On the dashboard, you will see the grades and percent complete for each course.
The blue in the ring will continue to fill in as the student progresses further along in the course.
Once a course is 100% finished for the semester, the blue ring will be a complete circle.
Quick Links
In the Quick Links area, you will be able to access a variety of information, including:
School Counselors
Student Handbook
Transcript Requests
Florida Standards
Help Videos
Log In Help/Tech Issues
FLVS Blog
Passing into Educator
In each course area, click on the orange "Course" button.
It does not matter which "Course" button you choose, as you will be able to easily jump from course to course once you're in Educator.
