Teacher Appreciation Week
Please take a moment to send a "Thank you!" email or have your child write a note of appreciation for all that our PCSVA teachers do! They work tirelessly to ensure that students are loved and encouraged each day. Teachers will be on campus on Wednesday if you'd like to share something special!
ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Please be mindful of your child's attendance these last few weeks of school. Our synchronous classes require students to be logged in with cameras on for the full period to be counted present. It is important as we prepare for the end of year assessments and final projects that all students remain engaged and active in their courses. You may view attendance and grades in PowerSchool and contact your child's teacher with any issues or concerns.

PCS Curriculum & Instruction
School Calendars
Piedmont Community College Calendar
Our program is designed to focus on effectively providing a high-quality, virtual learning environment for all students and we ask that families commit to being enrolled for the entire school year. Student engagement is critical in the virtual learning environment; therefore, students will be expected to keep their cameras on during synchronous (live) instruction with their teachers and peers. Attendance will be taken based on this policy. There will also be opportunities daily for students to work asynchronously and having parent/family support is strongly encouraged.
While we are able to instruct our students virtually, all district and state-mandated assessments will need to be conducted in person onsite at our location. Assessment schedules and detailed instructions will be provided in advance of each district and state-mandated assessment for 5-12 students.
