The training begins with the self-paced training module linked above. Work through that module within a week of beginning with MDVS.
Next, you will attend a Live session with Mei-Ling Hickey, our Franchise Training Manager. Her meetings are currently held on Tuesdays from 10AM - 12PM. You must register for this session via this link. Please remember to indicate that you are with MyDistrict Virtual School (not your home district). Once you have completed the live session, you are done.
If you cannot attend the live session, you may request a recording of a session. Once you have watched the recording, you will schedule a 40-minute "wrap-up" call with Mei-Ling to review important requirements for teaching on the FLVS platform. You can text her at 407-405-8828 to set up a call.
Finally, MDVS staff will receive an email from Mei-Ling alerting us that you have completed training and are ready for students.
She hosts a daily Open Office Hour from 1 PM - 2 PM daily unless she is out of the office. You can join that open meeting using this link.

Communicating via Educator vs. VSA
Communicating via Educator vs. VSA
Educator is your primary platform for communicating with students and parents. Educator is an email system while VSA is a messaging system. What does that mean for you?
If you want a student or caregiver to see information quickly, send it via Educator. Use VSA as a place for documentation only. If you send a message in VSA, the receiver has to log in to VSA to get it. They are not informed via email that a message exists for them in VSA.
