Online Course Offerings

All online and off-campus courses must be pre-approved by the building principal. The school division will contract with an online vendor to offer courses that may not be available due to scheduling conflicts that prevent the class(es) from being offered during the regular school setting. The cost of these courses shall be the responsibility of the school division.

Additionally, students may be interested in taking a course that HCPS is unable to offer. Students may choose to take this online course if approved by the principal. Students will report to the media center during the block in which the online class is scheduled. If a student elects to take an online course, instead of a course offered by HCPS, the cost of the online course is the responsibility of the student/parent/guardian. HCPS uses Virtual Virginia and Edmentum as online vendors. Prices vary depending on courses and availability. Contact your building principal and counselor concerning costs.

Only students who meet the above criteria will be eligible for remote learning. All other students are expected to be present in school every day. The superintendent or superintendent designee reserves the right to make special accommodations for extenuating situations as needed.

Students enrolled in Virtual Virginia courses who wish to drop a course must withdraw within 21 calendar days from the first day of the course. Parents are assessed an administrative fee for students who withdraw more than 21 calendar days after the start of the course. Students who fail to log in over a 30 calendar day period will be administratively dropped from the course by Virtual Virginia, and parents will be invoiced for the withdrawal fee. Information about the program, course selection, and fees is available at http://www.virtualvirginia.org/, or speak with your school counselor.
