How It Works

Middle School

  

Who can attend?

The Alabama Virtual Academy at Eufaula City Schools (ALVA) middle school program serves students in grades 6–8 who reside in the state of Alabama.

What are the costs?

Because ALVA is a public school program, it's tuition-free. Enrolled families receive the Stride K12 curriculum, and qualified students receive a loaner computer and printer.

What is my role as a parent?

Middle school is a time when students become more independent, taking on more responsibility and ownership for their learning and working more directly with their teachers. But parent involvement is still critical to student success. As a parent, you (or another responsible adult you choose) serve as your child's Learning Coach. While teachers set the pace of instruction, the Learning Coach helps their student(s) stay on track by:

  • offering regular (daily) assistance outside of live instructional time

  • communicating with student(s) about needs
    entering daily attendance hours (6+ hours of student learning time) in the Learning Coach portal

  • communicating with teachers on a regular basis (by phone or email) to discuss student progress

  • encouraging student(s) to attend all live sessions and complete daily work or other required assignments (ex: benchmark and state testing)
    maintaining a home environment conducive to learning

Parent/Learning Coach involvement is essential for at least 20 hours a week and roughly 50–60 percent of this time is online. The initial 4–8 weeks can be intensive as your family settles into a routine.

Working with Your Teacher

Teachers provide individual and small group assistance via online synchronous sessions called "Class Connects." Students are expected to attend all required Class Connects and meet with their teacher to receive course assistance, tutoring, and instruction. Class Connects vary by grade level and are scheduled by your teacher.

Attendance

Attendance is logged Monday through Friday according to a traditional school calendar; however, academic progress can be achieved during the weekends as well. Middle School students are expected to spend approximately 6–7 hours on schoolwork per school day. 

Expectations for Completing Schoolwork

In middle school, student learning changes to a semester-based approach where students are required to earn a passing grade on their assignments and online lessons. Due dates are assigned to lessons to encourage consistent, steady progress for academic success. 

While online lessons can usually be completed at any time of day, students are required to attend teacher-led, direct-instruction, online synchronous Class Connect sessions. During Class Connects, students receive online instruction from teachers and have opportunities to interact virtually with classmates. 

Attending Class Connects and completing coursework according to the assigned pacing schedule will help set up your student for success.

Email

Email is the primary form of communication between the school and families. Learning Coaches and students are required to check and respond to emails on a daily basis.

State Testing

ALVA students must comply with all Alabama-mandated testing requirements.
