Teachers will be lessening or removing assignments in the honors/advanced components to correspond with the same BCPS policy for regular classes.  Students still need to complete this reduced honors/advanced component work in order to earn the honors/advanced distinction.

When grades are recorded after April 12th, students who are passing Credit Recovery classes will have that grade reported to their transcript and report card.  If students are passing Credit Recovery classes at that time will be done with the class.  If students are NOT passing Credit Recovery at that time, they will stay enrolled in the Credit Recovery class until the entire class is completed.

Currently, Baldwin County has postponed graduation.  As soon as graduation information is available, it will be communicated via email, text and/or phone.

Dual enrollment courses will continue following the directions Coastal Alabama gave your student.  Those grades will be recorded on report cards and transcripts after the dual enrollment course ends in early May.

Seniors' school year ends after Baldwin County's spring break April 6 - 10.  At that time, gradesfrom 1st, 2nd, and third quarter will be averaged and redorded on report cards and transcripts.  Fourth quarter work will not have to be completed.

BCVS has a $45 operational fee.  Additionally, students might need to purchase online textbooks if required for Advanced Placement courses.  Dual enrollment courses are tuition based, except at Coastal Alabama Community College where students can earn 18 hours of college coursework free of charge.  Students are responsible for purchasing any books requried for dual enrollment courses.

Yes.  Official report cards are mailed home at the end of each semester; progress reports are mailed home at the end of quarter 1 and quarter 2.  Please check the school calendar for the dates.  Local courses, taught through MOODLE, have thier grades recorded through INOW.  ACCESS courses are recorded in INOW at the end of the first semester (for yearlong courses) and when the course is finished and marked as completed.

No.  When students enroll at BCVS, signing a Trnasportation Agreement is part of the enrollment documentation.  That agreement allows for licensed sophomores, juniors and seniors to drive themselves to the virtual school sites.  All others are to be driven by a parent or guardian.  On occasion, bus transportation is included in field trips.  Cost for field trip transportation is calculated into the price of the field trip.

Students must "attend" class daily in accordance with the Baldwin County School calendar.  Students fulfill attendance requirements by logging into their courses daily.  When a student's status changes to Academic Intervention, face-to-face attendance requirements are added.  If students miss school days, parents can provide notes to excuse the absences.  From that point, Baldwin County Schools attendance policies and procedures are followed.

All unit tests and end of term exams must be takne in the physical presence of a BCVS staff member at a BCVS testing site.  Transportation is not provided; therefore, students and/or parents must arrange for reliable and safe transportation according tot he terms of the singed Transportation Agreement.  At this time, BCVS does not allow electronic proctoring.

We use ACCESS Distance Learning, a program administered by the Alabama State Department of Education.  Core curriculum classes are delivered through ACCESS.  The courses are reading based; students work through the content by reading and taking notes from interactive slideshows.  Courses also link out to video supplementary marterial from websites like SAS Curriculum and Discovery Education.

Locally developed courses are delivered through MOODLE, Baldwin County's online learning management system.
