MyDistrict Virtual School Elementary

Expections: FLVS Platform

Welcome Call - Once placed with a teacher, you and a legal guardian must participate in a welcome call with each of your instructors. A welcome call is a conversation with your instructor regarding policies and regulations that you must follow. There are general policies and classroom-specific policies that will be shared during this conversation. You should complete a welcome call within 14 days of being placed with an instructor. Please review your instructor's Announcement Page in the course to find out how you should schedule your welcome call. 

Teacher Virtual Classrooms - Each teacher has their own policies and procedures just as you would find in a typical classroom. Please be sure to learn about their policies during the welcome call. 

Student Pace - Students should be working in EVERY course EVERY week. Anywhere between 2-5 assignments should be completed each week depending on the course and pace. Instructors will monitor your progress. If you have not submitted work in 7 days, expect contact from your instructor. If you are not completing assignments in order and completing DBA's when coming to them, your instructor may pause your pace in the course by placing you in Contact Instructor status. Please know that if you do not stay in communication with your instructor and submit work (2-3 assignments per week), you will be withdrawn from the course without notice. 

Please be sure to print your course pace chart and use it to set up a weekly calendar to ensure that you complete your segment within 16 weeks of starting the course. MDVS students may only work on virtual courses during the 180 days of your district's school year. Keep in mind, if you begin a segment in April, you must complete it by the end of the school year. If that isn't reasonable for you, please register for the course in August.

Grace Period/28 Day/20% Policy - The grace period will begin when the teacher places a student in Active status in VSA. A student must complete at least 20% of the course by the morning of the grace period date. The student may withdraw from a course within the first 28 days without a penalty on their transcript. The course is recorded as a “W” (withdrawal) on your transcript. If a student withdraws from a course after the 28-day grace period, they will receive a “WP” (withdrawal passing) or “WF” (withdrawal failing) depending on the grade.

Withdrawn Students - If you have been withdrawn, you can be reinstated back in the course. Please follow this pathway.

Discussion Based Assessments -  At the end of each module or unit, students will have an opportunity to discuss what has been learned during a Discussion Based Assessment (DBA) with the instructor before moving on to complete the password-protected module exam. Each instructor has the liberty of conducting their DBA's in a manner that works best with the course content. It is important for the student to be proactive in completing a DBA by following the procedure explained by the instructor for scheduling a DBA. Many times this information can be found on the teacher announcement page or in the welcome to the course email.

Student Expectations - To be successful in any online course, the expectation is for the student to submit work (minimum 2-3 assignments per course) on a weekly basis and consistently communicate with your instructor. 


Academic Integrity (AI) - AI is essential in an online course. Students are expected to complete every assignment on their own and using their own words. Failure to do so is considered plagiarism. Remember, you sign a student code of conduct each year, and this applies to your online courses as well. You can learn more about the importance of Academic Integrity through this link.


Student Work and Resubmission - Student work that demonstrates a low comprehension of material will include an invitation to review the lesson again and resubmit to move toward content mastery. The number of resubmission attempts vary by assignment type.
