Full-Time Student Information

  • Full-time students are required to take 6 courses each semester for a total of 6 credits during the school year.  Typically, this includes the four core academic classes and 2 electives.

  • Full-time students are required to take all state testing (STAR, FAST, EOC, AP, etc.). Failure to attend the testing will result in removal from the program. Parents are responsible for providing transportation to the testing location.

  • OVS full-time students are required to complete their courses during the school year, maintaining a minimum pace throughout the year. Each course includes pace charts to clearly show students and parents the weekly requirements. Students need to follow the teacher and school’s pacing guide. Courses are designed to be completed in 18 weeks.

  • Attending a virtual class means engaging in lessons and submitting work. If you are not submitting work on a weekly basis, you are not attending class. Working each day, submitting assignments weekly and attending Live Lessons is considering attending class, which leads to engagement, learning momentum and success!

  • Students may withdraw from OVS at any time.  Transitions are easiest at the end of the semester, but students will not be prohibited from withdrawing. Transfer grades are available only upon full completion of a course.
