Viewing Schedules

To see your Virtual Virginia (VVA) schedule, please log into your VVA account.  If you do not know your login information, contact Katie Larimer (klarimer@mcps.org).  While you can see student schedules when you log into PowerSchool Parent or Student Portal, this schedule does not accurately reflect the time of VVA synchronous sessions.

Synchronous Classes

Most VVA classes are synchronous this year, meaning that students are expected to attend live class sessions through Zoom at a regular time each day.  Attendance for synchronous classes is based on attendance during live sessions.  For more detailed information about the structure of VVA classes, see the VVA website:

• Elementary synchronous instruction

• Middle & high school synchronous instruction

Classes are labeled as synchronous or asynchronous when you look at the schedule in VVA.  See this document for a more complete explanation.

Virtual Virginia (VVA) and Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) do not follow the same calendar.  Students in VVA classes will follow the VVA calendar for those classes.
