FLVS is the online school system used by the state of Florida. In order to take an online course through FLVS, it must be approved by your student's school counselor. Please reach out to the school counselor BEFORE you request the course. We will not approve a course if we have not yet discussed it with a parent or guardian.
FLVS has flexible enrollment so students can start any time during the year, including over the summer. It is self-paced so students are responsible for staying on track. If a student goes too long without completing work they will get DROPPED from the course. When a student gets dropped they must then re-enroll and start from the beginning. School counselors can monitor student progress and if we notice that work is not being completed, we try to reach out to the family before the student gets dropped from the course.
Sometimes it takes a couple weeks for a student to get assigned to a class after it gets approved. Be patient! FLVS enrolls students in classes as teachers and class seats become available.
Middle school students (6th - 8th) are eligible to take courses through FLVS to make up credits for courses they previously failed. However, we strive to give students the opportunity to take the course at LaVilla before recommending FLVS.
In Duval County, it is a high school requirement that each student completes one online course in order to graduate. The most common courses for students to take to fulfill this credit are (1) HOPE and (2) Drivers Ed. The HOPE course also fulfills the high school physical education requirement.
8th graders that have been promoted to the 9th grade are eligible to take these courses in the summer between their 8th and 9th grade year. Your student's requests will continue to come to LaVilla until their first day of 9th grade. Therefore, if you wish to request these courses please reach out to Ms. Spencer, the 8th grade counselor.
Any additional questions on this matter can be directed to either of the school counselors.
