Polk Virtual School serves students in grades six through twelve with courses that are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Polk Virtual School serves public school students, hospital homebound students, home schooled students, and private school students. PVS serves public school students as part of their regular schedule to meet class size needs, scheduling conflicts, and course offerings. Virtual education is completely internet based. Each course’s curriculum is designed using modular lessons. Students earn credits through course work completion. The students and teachers communicate via email, whiteboards, and telephone. The instructional staff is comprised of full-time and adjunct teachers meeting highly qualified standards for their subject area. Full-time instructors are available during traditional school hours. Adjunct teachers serve at a regular school during the day and work with the virtual students in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. District Virtual Instruction Program serves students in grades Kindergarten through twelfth as a full-time virtual education program in accordance with F.S. 1002.45. The Polk County District Full-Time Virtual Instructional Program (PCDVIP) is considered a Polk County Public School. Students will be served through on-line services to meet grade level expectations in accordance with the student course sequencing/progression plan and the district curriculum. PCDVIP students must follow all state and district rules for public school students. To be eligible for enrollment the student must be a resident of Polk County and meet one of the following criteria: the student must have previously been enrolled in a Florida public school and counted in the annual FTE counts; be a dependent child of a member of the United States Armed Forces who was transferred within the last 12 months to this state from another state or from a foreign country pursuant to the parent’s permanent change of station orders; first time Kindergarten students; or the student was enrolled during the prior school year in a school district virtual instruction program under this section or a K-8 virtual school program under Section 1002.415, Florida Statutes. New Rules for 2011-12 School Year Elementary Students Elementary 4 th and 5 th grade students earning a 4 or 5 on their prior year FCAT are allowed to take advantage of virtual educations for acceleration. District franchises and FLVS may be used to meet the state requirement. The law states the principal is to notify parents of students who score levels 4 or 5 on FCAT Reading or FCAT Mathematics about these acceleration opportunities. However, the principal may provide additional information he or she deems appropriate based on the child’s academic history. Secondary Students For students entering ninth grade beginning in 2011-12, at least one course required for graduation must be completed through online learning. Students are required to pass the online course in order to meet the online graduation requirement per Section 1003.428, F. S., which specifies the course must be within the 24 credits and completed through online learning. Half-credit online courses may meet this requirement as long as they are within the 24 credits required for graduation.
