The WCSD asked families to commit to one of the three educational options for their children/students for the fall semester of the 2020-2021 school year by July 20. Visit www.walton.k12.fl.us for more information and updates.
1. Traditional School (face-to-face classroom instruction in brick and mortar classrooms, five days a week) The WCSD will follow any mandated guidelines by the CDC and state, and all recommended guidelines will be reviewed and considered for the safety of students. Specific items in the Re-opening Plan may be lifted and/or strengthened to best fit our community and/or schools and current conditions through this fluid situation. See the Re-opening Plan on our website for more information.
2. Walton Virtual School (virtually at home with enrollment in WVS) Walton Virtual School is a Florida Virtual School franchise and is considered a separate school of enrollment in Walton County School District. It is staffed by Walton County School District certified teachers but adheres to a curriculum developed by the Florida Virtual School system for grades 6-12. Walton Virtual School contracts with K12 to provide instruction for our Kindergarten through 5th grade students. For more information about Walton Virtual School visit https://www.walton.k12.fl.us/walton-virtual-school.
3. Innovative Learning Digital Academy (distance learning at home with enrollment in your current school; synchronized interaction with an instructor and peers five days a week) WCSD students will have an option of attending their enrolled school as an Innovative Learning Digital Academy student. This option is for students in grades K-12 who wish to continue their education full-time through an innovative learning environment but still maintain their connection to their enrolled schools. Every Walton County School will have their own Innovative Learning Digital Academy that is unique to that school community. A student’s learning and instruction will take place online with teachers from their school via web conferencing technology. This model provides a learning model that reflects the district’s commitment to providing students with high-quality instructional experiences with synchronized real-time interaction with teachers each school day for every class. All core subjects will be available; however, because not all electives can be provided through an online environment, elective offerings are limited.
School begins August 17.
