- Every VLACS course begins with a Welcome Call. A Welcome Call is between the VLACS instructor, the student, and the parents. No student may start a course without the Welcome Call.
- About 7 days after the student starts the course, the student and the instructor meet in Zoom for a Follow Up Appointment. This appointment is to help ensure that the student has gotten off to a good start and can easily navigate the course and assignments.
- All students are offered a 28 day trial period called a Grace Period. This allows students to try out a course or check out VLACS. If they decide the course or format isn’t for them, they can withdraw without penalty and this will not show on any transcripts.
- Students should expect to hear from their instructor at least once per week. Contact includes phone calls, Zoom meetings, feedback on student work, emails, and chat.
- Students can also expect prompt feedback on assignments so that they can keep learning and progressing in their course.
- Students also have access to our Academic helpdesk which is staffed with certified NH teachers who can help them in a variety of areas.
- Students also have access to a Technical helpdesk that is available many hours of the day.
- Elementary students will have one teacher for their core area subjects which are math, language arts, science, and social studies and the option for weekly activities.
- VLACS instructors offer office hours, appointment hours, and regular check-in times to support students & their families.
