Letter from the Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Utah Virtual Academy. The faculty and staff join me in saying we are happy to have you as part of our learning community. We are looking forward to another great year. We have a champion staff that believes in high levels of achievement for all students. We believe that every child can learn and we are committed to helping every student succeed.

Our staff has set high expectations for student learning. In the classroom our goals are to have an environment conducive to learning by providing well managed classrooms with high levels of student engagement, well prepared lessons, and instructional delivery with best teaching practices.

We welcome your participation and support this school year. You are an important part of our team in helping your child succeed.

At Utah Virtual Academy it is our goal to help each student become self-sufficient individuals mentally, physically, and socially. We want students to be prepared for the future and to be college and career ready. It is essential that students attend school regularly and complete academic assignments.

We are using this handbook as a means of communicating between the home and school. The pages in this handbook are filled with important information regarding school policy, procedures, and services. Please read and keep this book readily available throughout the year. Parents and students should review the contents together.

We feel that open and clear communication between school and home is important to the success of our educational program. My door is always open; please feel free to contact me at any time. You child’s success is my priority. Thank you for your support as we begin another successful year!
