If you are registered as an SJVS student and in good academic standing, you may submit a request in writing to the principal of your zoned school requesting permission to participate in an activity at that school.  Permission to participate is based on the discretion of the principal at the zoned school and is not guaranteed.

2. SJVS also accepts enrollments with students that are enrolled in Home Education (not receiving state scholarship).

SJVS students may take one or two classes at a traditional school (upon the home-zoned school principal’s approval), as long as their families make the commitment to provide consistent transportation. For safety reasons, students cannot stay at school unattended once the class has ended or arrive on campus before the class starts.

Students will be asked to make a commitment to stay enrolled with SJVS for a complete semester. If a student wishes to transfer to a traditional school at the end of a semester, that is possible. *Please note, if a student does not complete the entire semester, grades will not transfer. A student must complete the entirety of the semester.

2. Current Individual Educational Plans (IEP) of student applicants who meet the St. Johns Virtual School full time entrance criteria will be reviewed on an individual basis in order to determine the appropriateness of the full-time virtual education option.

3. Prior to enrollment as a full-time student, an IEP/504 accommodation plan review will be scheduled at the current zoned school to determine if the virtual environment is appropriate for the individual student. As in traditional public schools, not all ESE services are available at every school. Therefore, the review team will determine the location of services, should they be required for the student.

4. The IEP team may determine the need for additional services beyond those provided in the virtual instruction program. Depending on the nature and extent of those additional services, these exceptional students may be able to participate in one of St. Johns Virtual instruction programs and also receive some ESE services, such as therapies and related services. Transportation to the zoned school for therapies and related services will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian.
