All full-time students should continue to work in their courses on a regular basis. This means that students should be reviewing course content and submitting assignments regularly. All work must be completed and submitted no later than December 15that 3:00 PM to be reflected on your child’s Quarter 2 report card. Report card grades will be issued based on student’s progress or lack thereof for each course listed on their schedule (this includes special area and elective courses). FLVS will not allow our teachers to issue a grade if a student has not completed their required DBAs or assessments. Please have your child schedule their required DBAs early to ensure they are complete. 

Parents can access their child’s performance and progress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the FLVS platform.  Please take note: when reviewing your child’s course progress in FLVS, students need to complete 100% of Semester 1 course work by December 15th.
