Watch for New Method of Grading English Work on VLA - Coming This Fall!


We are currently in the process of changing the procedure that your child will work on English units where a paper is asked to be typed. The picture above will be present in the comment section which indicates for your child to stop and submit their work before moving on to next step. This holds true for each part of the writing process. This will enable the teacher to have a chance to look over their work before they proceed with their final draft. This will hold true for the topic and the topic sentence as well as the following:

Rough Draft: Type your rough draft in a word document, and attach the document to the answer box. When you have finished this part of the assignment, save your work and submit your answers to your teacher before moving on. If you have any questions, be sure to email your teacher for help.

Self-Evaluate: You should submit the same word document you prepared for your rough draft with all of the revisions in place. If you have any questions, be sure to email your teacher for help.

Final Draft:  Make your final corrections and revisions. Be sure to email your teacher if you have any questions. Submit your final draft in the box below. You should submit the same word document you’ve been working on and revising.

Make sure you communicate with your child and their teacher so everything runs smooth.

March Reminder


Parents,
Please remind your child of any deadlines given by their school district for when the school wants VLA courses to be complete. If you are in doubt of any deadlines, please contact your school. If, by chance, your child's deadline is the end of the school year, you need to have your child work at a pace that this can be accomplished.

Attention: The VLA system will be down on Monday January 16 from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM (EST) due to a server upgrade.

Happy New Year!!


Happy New Year to you! I hope 2012 will be a great year for you!

Just a reminder for your child enrolled in VLA. Please encourage them to work daily on their lessons in order to finish each course in a timely manner and to the deadlines given by their school.

If your child has questions as they work, please remind them to email their teacher using the internal email system in VLA. Our teachers are online daily to check for emails from students or lessons waiting to be graded.

Thanks for being a part of the Virtual Learning Academy!

Holiday Season

During the holiday season, please continue to encourage your child to work on VLA in order to be able to finish in a timely manner at the end of the school year. Most schools will tell the students what days they can skip working online for Christmas and New Years. If they don't, please contact them to find out.
