GAVS Parents
Parents play an important role at GA Virtual School. We believe in working together as a team to support student progress. For this reason, all parents of GAVS students are given parent accounts. In addition, course instructors send home biweekly course updates so parents know what is going on in class. When students are not being successful, parents are notified on a weekly basis by phone and email.
   
 How to Enroll Your Child

Enrolling your child in a GAVS course is a simple process:

  1. Have your student create an account on the registration page.
  2. Have your student log in and apply for classes.
  3. Login to view your registration and enrollment status.
  4. Check emails for important communication from GAVS staff.

If there are any problems with enrollment, you will be able to see explanations by checking the system after login, or GAVS staff will contact you.

   
 Communication

Effective communication is one of the most important keys to student success in a virtual classroom. For this reason, GAVS has a robust set of tools and policies to support communication between parents, schools, students, and teachers.

  • Biweekly course updates--course instructors email biweekly updates in the form of a newsletter so parents know what is going on in class.
  • Parent access to student progress--parents can use their logins to review their student's grades at any time with their parent accounts.
  • Email and phone communication--instructors are available by email and phone.  Parents are encouraged to email instructors with any questions or concerns.
  • Parent/Student Information Sesssions--at the beginning of each semester, parents and students are invited to an online information session where they can ask questions and get more information about the upcoming semester.
  • Notification of students failing to thrive--once weekly, all parents of students who have a grade that indicates they are in danger of failing recieve both an email and a phone call with this notification.
   
 Parent Accounts

All parents of GAVS students are given parent accounts so that they can work closely with instructors to support their students. Parent accounts allow parents to see course announcements, access due dates, review grades, and monitor student progress in terms of course access and login times.

Parents should receive their login information within the first two weeks of class. Parents of returning students can use the same login from previous semesters.

To login, parents will always come to the parent page of the website and input their username, password, and student username.
