This will be the only opportunity to change placement for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year.

Elementary families that want to change from in-person to the Virtual Academy can complete this enrollment form (direct URL: https://forms.gle/1uz3VCfRNDyLpB8UA). You will receive a confirmation email after you submit the form.

Elementary families that are currently attending the elementary Virtual Academy will receive a personal communication with the link from the elementary Virtual Academy coordinator.  The secondary link will be made available on December 1, 2021.

Families can shop on their own from now through November 19th at this link or they can type in https://efairs.follettbookfairs.com/ and use the fair code: MW8K7.  Books from the website will ship to the school after the Thanksgiving break.
