What parents are saying about the Virtual Academy:
"Absolutely wonderful given the situation! We had a steep learning curve in the beginning, but the kids are doing better now and have adapted to online classes. We asked a lot from the P-CCS staff, and each time we received prompt response and support. We appreciate your support in making this platform available for us."
"Very positive! Our daughter is a self-starter and the VA allowed her to work and learn at her pace. She misses social interactions, but has made outstanding educational gains."
"A complete blessing! We were initially nervous about our child attending Virtual Academy due to having an IEP and we were unsure about how those services would be met. However, that was immediately addressed by the outreach of teachers, and we were assured there would be no interruption."
"We have had such an amazing year. My son took to this format beautifully, and most of his teachers were wonderful. They worked so hard to be engaging and inclusive, were very understanding and accommodating, and really made it easy to feel part of the class. I felt content was valid and on track, and teachers were readily available,"
