Waitlist Application for the 2024-2025 GCS Virtual Program-Friday, March 1, 2024 through Friday, August 2, 2024

All Greenville County students have the opportunity to apply for the full-time Virtual Program. The waitlist application for the 2024-2025 GCS Virtual Program opens at 8:00 AM on Friday, March 1, 2024, and will continue through 5:00 PM on Friday, August 2, 2024. To apply, students must be enrolled in Greenville County Schools, and parents must have a BackPack account. **The Virtual Program will not be offered for Specialized/Magnet Programs such as Charles Townes Center, Language Immersion, and preschool programs or the most intensive special education services, which is typically referred to as self-contained programming. **

**If your student is currently attending the Virtual Program for the current school year (23-24) and you want them to participate in the Virtual Program for the 24-25 school year, you MUST APPLY AGAIN. Your student WILL NOT automatically be enrolled in the Virtual Program for the 24-25 school year.**

Acceptance into the Virtual Program is not guaranteed just by applying through BackPack. Student’s grades, attendance, previous performance in the Virtual Program, and schedule/credit needs will all play a factor in whether a student is accepted or declined for the 2024-2025 school year.

Students on the waitlist will be scheduled based on space availability in the Virtual Program.We will email notifications of acceptance and Virtual Program contracts ASAP. Students in the Virtual Program will be scheduled based on grade level and academic record.

Students will be expected to participate daily in live sessions at scheduled times with their cameras on and their faces visible. Those who fail to do so will be marked absent and are subject to truancy consequences. Exceptions are based on extenuating circumstances and must be pre-approved in advance by a Virtual Program Administrator. Students accepted into the Virtual Program for the 2024-2025 school year WILL NOT be eligible for Magnet Academies or changes in assignment choice. If a student is approved for a magnet or choice slot after being accepted into the Virtual Program, parents must state their intent by the deadline or forfeit their Choice/Magnet slot.

I am pleased to share that the Cemetery Historic Preservation Project at Clemson University is launching a new summer day camp this year for middle school students. The camp will be held on Clemson’s campus and will feature interactive activities for campers, including historic site tours, archaeology digs, exploration of the archives, and family history activities. I am reaching out to area middle schools to let you know about this camp and to ask that you pass along this information to anyone who may be interested at your school. More information about the project and the camp can be found at the links below.
