Online education is known for providing students from all backgrounds a path for learning.

    Last week, when Orange County schools were originally closed for an additional week, we teachers received an email about partnering with FLVS to deliver online instruction. I signed up for a training course with FLVS, but I haven’t heard anything else about it, and the email has disappeared. Are we still going to have this opportunity for training?

      Hi Tracy. Please reach out to your principal to express your interest and check on status regarding your training request. Each district is designating teachers to participate and the final list should be sent to us from the superintendent. You can find details about eligibility and registration on our website at https://flvs.net/FLVSTeacherTraining.

    Are students from Polk County to be initiated in online classes? If so, when it will begin? Can I set up an account and my child begin to take classes online to be counted for her 9th grade?

      Hi Marilyn. You should hear from your school and district administrators regarding next steps for public school students as they finalize your county’s continuity plans.
