What does the virtual academy look like?
The WUSD Virtual Academy will be an online instructional program taught by WUSD certificated teachers and staff. Students will have a daily schedule with synchronous whole-class instruction (direct student-teacher contact in a Google Meet or Zoom call), live small group or one-to-one support, and asynchronous/independent learning time. Students will receive core instruction and ELD from a WUSD certificated teacher, and PE & VAPA through asynchronous programs.
