My LCPS Online
My LCPS Online
Letcher County Schools Virtual Academy, MyLCPS Online, is a distance learning option for those students in grades K-12 who wish to continue their education full-time through alternative learning environments. It provides an option for those students who seek an alternative to face-to-face instruction due to the medical vulnerability of the child or another family member who resides in the same household.
MyLCPS Online provides access to course content and interaction with certified LCPS teachers. MyLCPS Online provides a learning model that reflects the District’s commitment to providing students with high-quality instructional experiences and to meeting the needs of students and their families during these uncertain times.
It takes a lot of self-motivation for students to direct their own learning in a virtual environment. While you will be using robust online texts and curricula, partnered with instruction from our staff members, we can continue to serve our families during the COVID pandemic.
Students’ success in MyLCPS Online is dependent on both the student and parent’s investment in this innovative learning environment. Parents who elect to have their child participate in the model agree to monitor academic progress and coursework. Parent and student responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Families are expected to provide reliable internet and to care for the technology devices supplied to them by the district to support online learning for student(s).
Attend a virtual MyLCPS Online orientation session (synchronously or asynchronously).
Monitor student progress and contact the teacher(s) with any concerns.
Ensure student keeps pace within his/her courses and completes all assignments daily.
Ensure student’s daily participation in classes and adherence to the daily class schedule.

Learning will occur through a blended model of virtual curriculum and virtual connections with Letcher County teachers. Students will complete age-appropriate, engaging lessons with access to tools that support learning, including text to speech, audio and translation, text and picture dictionaries, and more. Our Letcher County educators can easily monitor student progress and performance with usage statistics, grading and feedback tools, curriculum maps, and communication tools.
By offering this curriculum, we will prioritize giving our learners a well-rounded, high-quality education, along with more ownership over their learning, which is one of the first steps in developing a lifelong desire to learn.
