Orientation Schedule: There are TWO required orientations for VHS |
|
| |
The Program orientation is ONLINE inside your course. Students complete an online learning readiness indicator and three mini-lessons to help them navigate the learning management system and understand VHS policies. These lessons will be available for all students FIVE (5) days prior to the session start date and should be completed prior to attending the in-person course orientation. Lessons available January 26th- Jan. 31st. (Students will not see their course listed in D2L before 1/26)
The Course orientation is IN PERSON on Wednesday January 31st 3:30 - 5:30 - Battlefield High School Auditorium (15000 Graduation Dr., Haymarket, VA 20169)
**Bring Money Order or Cashiers Check for TUITION if not paid in advance**
If a student cannot attend the course orientation in person they must login on that day and complete the assignments from home. It is HIGHLY recommended that the student complete the first day at BHS with their online instructor in person. Students who miss this date often experience more stress and tend to be less successful in their VHS course.
If there is a possibility of winter weather and school and/or after-school activities are closed - please check the website for updates. |
