Parent Expectations

In order for a student to be a successful virtual learner, a true partnership must be established between the parent, student, and the teacher. Virtual teachers will be communicating regularly with parents.

As a parent, you are an integral part of your child’s education. Although each RVA class is led by a certified district teacher who provides regular online instruction, students may need additional guidance and support from their parents.

Responsibilities of the parent are outlined below. These expectations must be agreed upon and followed in order for the child to participate in virtual learning at RCSD.

• Parents are expected to maintain open lines of communication with teachers and communicate any concerns or questions to the teacher.
