Welcome to LVS


2010-11 LVS Programmatic Changes

Beginning with the Fall 2010 semester, the Louisiana Virtual School will be collecting a Materials and Technology cost of $150 per student per course enrollment, to be paid for by the student’s district, school, or Local Educational Authority (LEA). Prior to any school enrolling students for an LVS course for the 2010-2011 school year, the District/LEA must return the signed agreement, with the appropriate signatures, to the contact person stated in the agreement. We encourage you to continue utilizing the resources of the Louisiana Virtual School. If you have any questions about the LVS, please contact Sandy Huval at Sandy.Huval@LA.Gov.

Please note: The $150 per student per course enrollment cost does not apply to the Summer 2010 Credit Recovery session. Registration for Credit Recovery courses in Algebra I, Geometry, English I, and English II will begin on Monday, April 19, 2010, and will be open to all schools that have an active facilitator account.

LVS Facilitator MAKEUP Trainings

The LVS will be hosting facilitator trainings, which are required for all schools who are participating in LVS. There are two trainings, veteran facilitator trainings, and new facilitator trainings.

  1. All veteran facilitator makeup trainings are conducted through webinars, and are open only to facilitators who attended a face-to-face training last school year. To register for the veteran facilitator trainings, you must register online through Coursewhere at http://www.solutionwhere.com/ldoe/cw/showcourse.asp?2536

  2. Face-to-Face makeup trainings are conducted for all new facilitators, and any facilitator who did not attend a face-to-face training during the last school year.
