Requirements:

• All students will need to check out a Centennial School District Chromebook to do all school work. If you already have one checked out it will transfer to CVA automatically.  If you do not already have one you will be given instructions on where and when to check one out.
• Students will need to actively check their school Gmail in the google application or google web browser (not in student vue).
• Parents need to actively check their email for communications with CVA teachers and staff. 
• Students/Families will need to have reliable internet. If cost is an issue you can check out these low cost options.
• Students will have to Attend a daily Advisory Class via Zoom in addition to online school work – see Attendance below for more information.

The learning platform:

• Most lessons are taught through an online platform called Edgenuity. This is a self paced program that works well for students who are self driven or students who have alternative schedules. Students are able to work as fast as they want, enabling some students to graduate early or to make up missing credits.

Attendance: 

(Updated 6/2025)

In order to be counted as present the student must demonstrate multiple points of contact each school day.

• Mandatory Attendance of a Daily Zoom Advisory Meeting. If your schedule does not permit attendance of this daily class you can advocate with your Advisory Teacher for an alternative method of checking in. 

  • During this meeting you will get a code word to be entered into a Google form at the end of the daily meeting.

• Your student must have actively worked in Edgenuity for a minimum of 1 hour per school day. (Idle or down time does not count toward the 1 hour) Our expectation is that students should be working 1 hour, per day, per class – to stay on track. (5 classes = 5 hours per day minimum- plus Advisory)  

• If the student does not meet the minimum requirement for 10 consecutive days, the student will be 10 day withdrawn. 

  • If the student has an Inter-district transfer and they get 10 day dropped they will not be able to re-enroll with CVA because this breaks the inte-district transfer agreement/rules. 

Contact with Teachers/Advisors, Counselors, and CVA Staff:

• During the trimester you will be able to connect with your Advisory Teacher during any school day via text, phone, and email. Centennial Virtual Academy teachers offer daily office hours and Advisory lessons. Your first point of contact should always be your students Advisory teacher. 
• Parents and students can connect with their Advisory teacher via Zoom by appointment upon request. 
• Online tutors are available through Edgenuity.
  • Parents: Make sure you are signed up for the Edgenuity progress reports, so you will be aware of how much progress your student is making on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. (contact your Advisory Teacher if you are not receiving these)

If your student has an IEP: 

• Once the student is enrolled the Learning Specialist will send a welcome email that details their open zoom drop-in hours. 
• After enrollment the Learning Specialist will work with the Advisory teacher to make sure accommodations and modifications are put in place.
• Going forward, the Learning Specialist will hold an annual IEP meeting.

In person requirements/events: 

• Students will need to come on campus for State and ELL testing.
• Students can attend community events at CHS. Please be sure to sign up an check your Parent Square account. 
  •  This option does not require dual enrollment.
• Students can participate in sports at CHS.
  • This option does not require dual enrollment but may require the coach to actively monitor progress in classes.

THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS

Step 1: 

• If your student is not currently in our district – whether they have previously been with CSD or not go to the online registration system:   Centennial Online Registration Page  and complete enrollment there, updating all contact information and documentation.
• If your student  is currently at CHS, please contact the school counselor to initiate the transfer process.

Step 2: 

• After CVA receives the request for enrollment we verify that the parent/guardian understands our program and requirements and are approved for enrollment. 
• Then the Registrar enrolls the student for 1 week out. (this date may get moved up depending on staff availability) 
• Next the Academic counselor will review the students academic history, do forecasting for the year, and add classes. 
• Once the student is enrolled and has their classes they will received the an email from counseling department staff explaining when they should expect to start. This email will include a video on how to login to Edgenuity, and a link to the Advisory Zoom Meeting. 
• Students will also need to schedule an orientation meeting directly with their Advisory Teacher that will explain other helpful information of how the program works and where to find information and help.
