** Weatherly Virtual Academy (WVA) Information**

The Weatherly Area School District is proud to announce that we have changed our current virtual education program (WAVE) to the Weatherly Virtual Academy (WVA). For more information regarding this new program, please click the following link: Introduction to WVA

Please read the below letter from Dr. Katie Leach, WVA Program Director.

Dear Parent or Guardian of Home/CyberSchool Children,

Taking care of all families and their unique needs is very important to our district. If you are enrolled in a Cyber Program or you are Home Schooling them yourself, I would like to invite you to consider enrolling your children in our online program, Weatherly Virtual Academy (WVA). We partner with Pearson Virtual School to provide over 400 courses for students in our district. For each student, coursework is provided to meet not only their age level, but their academic level, as well. The program can meet the needs of students with IEPs, GIEPs, 504 plans and those requiring their education to be flexible and not on a bell-to-bell schedule. Classes for gifted students are also available!

Our program offers: Anywhere, anytime learning, experienced, caring certified teachers provided by Pearson, high school courses designed for college and career readiness, easy-to-use online learning platform, opportunities to join students in the Weatherly School District in age-level field trips and all extracurricular activities for socialization, community, and friendships, and FAMILY411 - Pearson online resource center to ensure you get the help you need.

In addition to the above, our district provides our online families and students with support throughout the entire school year, helping with all aspects of the online WVA experience. This will include coordinating courses in Pearson with WASD coursework and notifying parents of all grade level activities for online students. As the Online Coordinator, I will enroll students in the program and provide help in using the Pearson system. I will give weekly student progress reports to families and be in contact with parents and students if any problems arise.

If you would like more information about our Weatherly Virtual Academy, please contact me. I will send you a link to view our Family Information Night Zoom to give you an introduction to Pearson’s courses and show both you and your children what they will see when they log in to their coursework.

Katie Leach, Ed. D
