For Term 3: Students must be 15 before the first day of the upcoming school year.

HPE 10 WITHOUT Driver Education

Students who take Health and PE 10 WITHOUT Driver Education with Virtual Loudoun may choose to enroll in the state Driver’s Education program at a later date. See information on the state’s program website  VADETS.  (This enrollment is NOT a part of Virtual Loudoun, and fees apply)

For students who may have travel planned during the term:   

• Nothing prohibits an active/enrolled LCPS student from taking their assigned computer out of the country, but DDI suggests that students familiarize themselves with the country’s Internet filtering laws and policies, as some LCPS content and needed instructional materials may be unavailable while they are visiting.
• If a student’s Chromebook breaks while participating in virtual learning, they must bring the device to their home school for support and repairs.

While Virtual Loudoun strives to provide support to all students to the fullest extent possible, LCPS and Virtual Loudoun may not be able to support students who have traveled away from Loudoun County over the summer.  Families need to understand they assume the responsibility for their student to have access to a device and the instructional materials needed to complete their online course.
