VirtualSC Sign-Ups begin January 14th for Seniors and Juniors and January 21st for Sophomores. All students in a Virtual Learning class will sign up for their needed class/classes during their Virtual Learning period.
If you are a student who wants to take a VirtualSC class and aren't in a lab, you will have to turn in a completed permission slip. Students who do not turn their permission slip in will not be allowed to take any classes on their own time on VirtualSC.
For students who wish to take a VirtualSC class on their own time, permission slips are available in the Media Center. Once the permission slip is signed and completed, please return it to Mrs. Fox in the Media Center, Mrs. Branham in the front office, or either of the counselors.
Permission slips will be available from January 6th-January 23rd. No permission slips will be accepted after January 23rd.
If you are unsure whether or not you need to take a class on VSC, please email your counselor.
