Virtual SC Information

• What is VirtualSC?
  https://virtualsc.org/current-course-offerings/
  VirtualSC is a free state-sponsored online program serving students currently attending public, private and home schools in grades 6-12 and Adult Education Programs.
  
  Why meeting with your School Counselor MUST be your first step?
  Your School Counselor will be the one to approve your enrollment in a VirtualSC course. Advisement with your School Counselor prior to enrolling will prevent delays in the registration process. There are District forms that will need to be signed by the student and the parent prior to the School Counselor’s approval. Without these forms, your enrollment will not be approved.
  
  For additional information on Distance, Online and Virtual Education, please refer to the District Course Catalog, page 5: HERE
