Students must: 

• be enrolled in 1st-12th grade
• live in the boundaries of Angleton ISD (priority will be given to currently enrolled AISD students)
• have scored at the “Approaches” grade level on each STAAR assessment taken last school year (or other AISD approved measure if they were unable to test)
• have scored at grade level on the end-of-year curriculum based assessment in each tested subject if the student did not take the STAAR exam last year (MAPS exam)
• have no unexcused absences for more than ten percent of the total instructional days last school year
• have arned a 70 or above final grade in Reading/Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies last school year

Students must remain in good academic standing while in the virtual academy.

Students must have good attendance and meet engagement expectations.

Students will be required to participate in district and state assessments.

Students will not be able to move back and forth from the virtual academy to in-person instruction.

Students who choose to participate in the AVA will remain in the academy and do online learning through the semester, at which time they can formally ask to be removed from the academy.

This is not the same online model that students participated in during the 2020-2021 school year.

Students will be placed with a specific AISD teacher assigned only to the virtual academy. That teacher will become the student’s point of contact throughout the year. (Students may not have their current in-person teacher.)

Elementary students will receive approximately two hours of live instruction along with asynchronous assignments each day.

Junior high and high school students will receive instruction through the Edgenuity platform, which allows students to work at their own pace to complete assignments.

The district cannot guarantee that students in the AVA will be able to participate in afterschool and UIL activities and courses that require students to be present, in-person at school.

Not all courses will be offered through the AVA. For example, students in grades 6-12 will be limited to courses offered in Edgenuity, which does not include Dual Credit courses or courses in electives like Welding.

Before opting into the AVA, parents should make sure they understand what their child’s schedule will include and what their child may no longer have access to once a student of the academy.
