OPEN HOUSES
We want to welcome you and your student to the exciting world of online learning with Virtual Virginia! We know that this may be your first experience with our program, and you may have a number of questions. To give you more information on Virtual Virginia and your student's course, we conduct Open Houses each semester to welcome parents and students to the program.
We will be conducting “open house” webinars for parents on Tuesday, September 27 and Tuesday, October 4. These sessions will provide a brief overview of our program’s structure, our instructional model, and support systems we have in place for you and your student. Virtual Virginia faculty and staff will be on hand to answer your questions. Attendance is optional. Feel free to attend either session. Both webinars will cover the same content.
