Question 8

What is included? Will I need to supplement?

All parents will have access to our Assignment Tracker which outlines what was done in each class along with what is required from the parent at home. All materials and supplies are included for the core classes. This covers 36 weeks worth of content.

Question 9

What is expected of the parents?

Accepted Answer

Parents are expected to bring their children to class on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as work with their children Wednesdays and Fridays of the same week to total 4 full school days. Parents are also expected to have their children participate in the online portion of these classes. We offer a computer lab onsite to help students successfully complete the online components during the onsite school day, but any unfinished work will need to be completed at home with mom/dad/guardian.

If a student misses an onsite class day, it is the parents' responsibility to get the student caught up and turn in any missing work. Please understand, our program relies on the mutual partnership we form with our parents. It is vital that parents fulfill their commitments in order for students to be successful.

Are there any additional resources that may be helpful to my family?

Accepted Answer

A computer lab hour has been worked into each student's schedule. This is available for students to get extra help with a subject they may be struggling in as well as to work on their online requirements. OVA teachers will also be available for specific class/subject help. Families can reach out to these teachers any school day to arrange one-on-one help via phone, email, online screen sharing, or at any of the OVA labs in Oxford.
