Virtual Virginia Open House Webinars for Parents

Parents of Virtual Virginia Students:


We will be conducting “open house” webinars for parents on Wednesday, October 13 and Thursday, October 14. These sessions will provide a brief overview of our program’s structure, our instructional model, and support systems we have in place for you and your student. Virtual Virginia faculty and staff will be on hand to answer your questions. Attendance is optional. Feel free to attend either session. Both webinars will cover the same content.
