Student Expectations

Pirate Virtual Academy Students MUST:

• Work the recommended amount of time per week to stay on pace with the course and complete within the deadline.

• Make special arrangements to get extra time if your internet is not working. This is up to you and your parents to communicate this.

• Ask for help from your teachers, PVA coordinators and your parents/guardians.

• Actually read or listen to the content, watch the videos, and do the practice work instead of just racing through and taking quizzes and tests.

  • Students who zoom through without reading, watching, working will not be allowed extra tries on quizzes, tests, and assignments.

Pirate Virtual Academy students MUST NOT:

• Expect online learning to be easier.

• 'Ghost' the district, teachers, and/or other educators (Ghost=Ignore).

• Fly through the 'Learning part of a module' while failing quizzes and tests (and then asking for retakes).

• Use the 'my Internet is not working' excuse. Students must have Internet to be an online student.

• Get behind in pacing, coursework while not asking for help (voicing concerns is a must).

• Become a truancy risk (truancy is directly balanced with pacing and the amount of work completed) (HB410) (Attendance Policy).
