Handbook Acknowledgment

Upon the start of each school year or upon enrollment approval, students and parents/learning coaches are provided with the handbook via email, and the school website. All students/families should read and review the policies and procedures and reach out as needed for any clarification. The school will follow all policies and procedures in the handbook and will act accordingly to hold all parties accountable to its content. Thank you in advance for your commitment to be informed, and we trust the handbook will be an important resource for you.

These policies shall be made available in the School Handbook and can be amended at any time, as needed and required by the daily activities and directives of the OHVA administration and/or School Board and in accordance with state law.

The Ohio Virtual Academy is a community school established under Chapter 3314 of the Revised Code. The school is a public school and students enrolled in and attending the school are required to take diagnostic and achievement tests and other examinations as prescribed by law. In addition, there may be other requirements for students at the school that are prescribed law. Students who have been excused from the compulsory attendance law for the purpose of home education as defined by the Administrative Code shall no longer be excused for that purpose upon their enrollment in a community school. For more information on this matter, contact the school administrator or the Ohio Department of Education.
