Virtual School for elementary ages accommodates students who cannot or elect not to return to “regular school” due to Covid-19 or other family decisions. The curriculum will provide direct digital instruction developed by master teachers through Google Classroom and will utilize the same curriculum offered to all site-based students. Additionally, face to face access with certified elementary teachers will be offered as needed for tutoring in sites throughout the district.

No, there are different guidelines and application processes.

There will be a base site located behind the Baldwin County Virtual Middle and High School. The address is 24675 US HWY Daphne, Alabama 36526.

Students have the option to come to sites (per attached schedule) for tutoring but it’s optional.

Students will be required come to the main Daphne site for State Assessment.  No schedule from State yet.

Students will also be require to come to the closest site to their home base for progress monitoring once a month.

Right now we are planning sites in Daphne (main site), Foley, Robertsdale and Bay Minette.   

At this time we are only offering an online application process. Please click on this link to access the online application.

All students are accepted into the Elementary Virtual School

 Email invitations will be sent later in July to invite 1 parent to an orientation meeting. 

Meetings will be held in satellite sites and at the main site in Daphne. 

Yes, elementary students with an IEP or 504 can participate. For middle and high school, they, along with all students, must follow the guidelines to be accepted.

Yes.  The attached schedule shows build in times to service students with IEPs along with RtI and ESL.  

One or both days will be determined by the mins. required by the IEP.

After registered an IEP committee meeting will be held to discuss the change in LRE to Virtual School.

To enroll in the Baldwin County Virtual Elementary School, the student must be entering K –  6th grade and live with a parent/guardian who is a Baldwin County resident.

There is no cost to attend Virtual School, but fees apply as in any other school in our system.

General supplies, similar to regular site-based classrooms, will be required. A list will be provided upon registration.

Yes.

This varies per grade level.  

Again the attached schedule is a sample of what the week would look like.  

Monday is the BIG instructional day.  Live group class meetings involving a Leader in Me lesson for the week and then in most cases pre-recorded teacher lead instruction on the standards for the week will follow.  

The pre-recorded instructional lessons may be stopped and replayed as needed throughout the week.  After that, the student has the remainder of the week to complete assignments.  I am strongly recommending parents have a printer/scanner and print out paper and pencil especially for K, 1^st and 2^nd but my preference is for all grades so they are not sitting in front of their laptop for hours on end. 

Students/parents will submit weekly assignments on Friday online.  Friday will be online assessments for 1^st-6^th.  Friday will also be pre-recorded  art, music and later on virtual field trip day (later on in the nine weeks). 

 No. A Chromebook will be provided for every child enrolled in the program.

Yes, Helpdesk Support will be provided during the school day to assist with technical issues.
