Keystone Central Virtual Academy
Dear Students & Families,
As the vibrant colors of fall begin to show and the school year settles into its rhythm, I want to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful start we’ve had at the Virtual Academy. Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, I’m grateful to have each of you as part of our online learning community.
Fall is a season of change, growth, and transformation—much like learning itself. Here at the Virtual Academy, we are committed to helping every student thrive in a flexible, supportive, and engaging virtual environment. Already, I’ve seen students stepping into their routines with curiosity, determination, and resilience. Your hard work and commitment do not go unnoticed!
As we move into this next phase of the semester, I encourage students to stay connected—with your teachers, with your classmates, and with your goals. Online learning gives us the freedom to learn in our own way, but it also requires responsibility and strong communication. Never hesitate to reach out—we are here to support you every step of the way.
To our families: thank you for the crucial role you play in your student’s success. Your partnership continues to make a profound difference in their educational journey.
Let’s make this fall a season of progress and possibility. Keep up the great work, and enjoy all the beauty this season has to offer!
With gratitude and encouragement,
Dave Peters
Principal, Virtual Academy

ATTENDANCE MATTERS
We're so excited to have our schools filled with students and teachers where we can all grow and learn together!
There is so much awesomeness that can be achieved when we're present at school. If something is getting in the way of your student coming to school, please reach out to your student's teacher, school counselor, district social worker, or school nurse. We want to make sure that your student is receiving whatever supports necessary to help them be successful.
REMNDER: As we start a new school year, excuses need to be turned in within 3 days of an absence. Use your school's attendance email to make sure that the excuse notes get turned in on time.

Counseling Connection
SAP
If you are concerned about a student for any reason, you can make a SAP referral. The SAP referral can potentially lead to any needed services and/or supports the student may need to be successful.
