Students with IEPs and 504s [E-lert for June 25]

Please be aware as you are registering students for NCVPS courses that if the student has on file an IEP or 504, you will need to check the IEP box in the registration process. This designation will then alert our NCVPS teacher that the student has an IEP or 504 and the teacher can contact the DLA to discuss this information.

If you have already enrolled students for the summer or fall sessions who have IEPs or 504s but did not check the box, please go back into the registration system to input this information.

Credit Recovery Updates [E-lert for June 25]

We are excited to work with all of you this summer and want to make it as productive as possible. To make sure that happens, we can start by ensuring we have the correct contact for the summer. If you are not a summer contact for your school, please let us know the correct contact. You can do that by either filling out the survey linked below with the correct information or by sending me an email. Our Credit Recovery teachers send weekly mastery charts by email to the school contact so it is imperative we have the correct person listed. You'll also want to make sure the information is provided to the Virtual Learning Consultant for your region so you may need to copy them on the email as well.

For those of you that are new to the NCVPS Credit Recovery program, we have created several "training" pieces and published them in the DLA Spa under the Credit Recovery tab (located in Blackboard). I recommend you spend a few moments going through the training folder as it will help you understand the foundation and procedures for our program. If you do not have access to the DLA Spa, please contact your Virtual Learning Consultant (Adam Renfro, Connie Joyner, James Bell, Melissa Davis) for assistance.
