opportunity for students to complete their virtual courses. We have provided a
structured environment where the student reports to a computer lab at the
Summer Academy between 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m, Monday through Thursday.
Students may take advantage of transportation provided by the York County
School Division (see page 11).
Our structured environment includes a mentor who is an experienced teacher and is assigned to work with, and
monitor progress and participation of the online students in the computer lab. The mentor can help students navigate
the Learning Management System, Moodle, and help students communicate with their online teachers. Students
work each day, Monday through Thursday to complete required assignments in their virtual courses in the lab at the
Summer Academy location. Students will be required to complete assignments for Friday of each week from home.
Blackboard Collaborate sessions scheduled by the online teacher during lab times are required and will be posted
weekly. Attendance is required Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Students will continue their
coursework at home on Friday. Students are required to login daily to complete coursework.
