course on Edge is counted as part of this course’s grade.
VLA is a new beginning! We
are making history!
I love the VLA It's so much less
stressful!
The best thing about VLA is that it allows students to be more independent by letting
them make their own schedule instead of being
given one.
The VLA allows The students to be more responsible for their work and how much time they put into it.
I like how VLA allows me to have
my own flexible time with my
assignments which helps me be able to
get ahead!I love that I have
such an enthusiastic teacher and have met new
friends!
The VLA is an
amazing place!

The purpose of our advisement class is to develop socio-emotional skills and habits, practice communicating at a scholarly level, develop academic and personal goals, and practice key study skills to help them navigate
their Edgenuity coursework.

can improve a student’s academic success, well imo
