What happens if I select the K-12 Virtual Learning Academy?
Your child will be engaged in distance learning throughout Trimester 1, even if the district shifts to another learning model due to COVID-19 infection rates. Your child will be enrolled in their assigned school, but may be taught by teachers from across the district. Learn More.
What happens if I do not select the K-12 Virtual Learning Academy?
Your child will continue with their enrollment at their assigned school in one of the learning models that is selected by South Washington County Schools. Learn More.
