NCVPS Online In 2005, on the
recommendation of the North Carolina e-Learning Commission, the General Assembly established the North Carolina Virtual Public School
The purpose of the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) is to provide e-learning opportunities to students.
The authorizing legislation for NCVPS states: “NCVPS shall be available at no cost to all students in North Carolina who are enrolled in NC’s public schools.
![Page 16: Registration for 2014-2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813295550346895d992c4c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Things to Consider The course offerings are only courses NOT taught at PHS All NCVPS courses will count as elective credits Students must have a 3.0 or higher GPA to take an online class,
plus additional requirements of NCVPS, and 2 teacher recommendations
ALL WORK AND COMMUNICATION IS COMPLETED ELECTRONICALLY
Teacher could be located anywhere across the state; will not be a Pisgah teacher, and there will not be a Pisgah teacher responsible for assisting these students. There WILL be a site-based facilitator for technical issues
NCVPS’s grading periods do not match PHS – MUST MONITOR GRADES CAREFULLY! Students (and parents) can do this on the NCVPS site with password!

Course Commitment Form Must return to applicable teacher by
Friday, Feb. 21st. Signing-up for course commits you to that
course, if available WHY: – Must know numbers in order to determine the
number of sections offered– Form commits student(s) to class; if they pre-register
and then change their mind, numbers and sections are unbalanced and other classes overloaded
