QCVA Families, we are nearing the end of the quarter, and it’s important for students to stay on track. All coursework must be completed by the end of the semester before final exams or cumulative tests. To improve grades, students are encouraged to attend tutoring, ask teachers for retakes on quizzes and unit tests, and resubmit low-scoring assignments such as essays, labs, or projects. Staying proactive now will help ensure a strong finish to the semester.

We wish everyone a safe and relaxing Labor Day! On this day, we honor the hard work and dedication of all the people who contribute to our community and country. Thank you for your tireless effort and commitment- your work truly makes a difference. Vipers, there is no academic instruction on September 1. Enjoy your day!

To enhance academic integrity, the Proctorio Lockdown Browser will be implemented for all online Edgenuity tests for students in grades 7-12, beginning September 2. This browser prevents students from accessing unauthorized materials or engaging in activities that could provide an unfair advantage during an exam. All Edgenuity quizzes and assessments will require this browser to be used. Students using QCUSD Chromebooks will have the Proctorio extension automatically installed, while those using their own devices must download the extension. Please note that Proctorio is only available as an extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. After the launch date, students will not be able to complete any Edgenuity assessment without the Proctorio Lockdown Browser. Please click here to read more about the lockdown browser.

QCVA offers a variety of resources for families- from monitoring student progress to retaking tests to improve grades to downloading Guided notes for each lesson. The Essential Guide shows you how to and many more. Please check the document and visit regularly for updates, click here. Please cick here to download the QCVA calendar.

Kinder to Grade 6: Students may request retakes for Assess-Its, Summary/Reflection, or Quizzes from their facilitator through the SchoolsPLP chat. Students are encouraged to attend tutoring when needed.

Grades 7 to 12: Quizzes and Unit Tests are used throughout the Edgenuity curriculum to assess student learning. Students must score 70% or higher on the assessments to progress in the course. The first and second attempts of a quiz or Unit Test can be taken without the assistance of a facilitator. If a student does not meet the 70% threshold within the first two attempts, they will be required to submit a copy of their lesson notes to their facilitator before receiving a third attempt. Students will need to attend tutoring with their subject area facilitator before receiving a fourth attempt on an assessment.
