26 September '25
As we conclude the first quarter, I want to commend our students, families, and staff for their commitment to learning in our virtual environment.
Students can continue to work over fall break on their classes to either get ahead or catch up. Students should be at 50% completion for each of their classes in order to be on pace to complete the course by the end of the semester.
Families play a vital role in this process, and your continued partnership is greatly appreciated as we work together to ensure student success.
Are you behind in your classes? Good thing, fall break is here. Make the most of your Fall Break by tackling any missing assignments and getting a head start for the second quarter! Edgenuity classes follow the QCUSD district calendar, so no coursework or class activities are due between September 29 and October 10, making this the perfect, stress-free window to catch up.
Devoting just a few hours can significantly lighten your load. Students can still get support with the "Chat with a Tutor" tool in Edgenuity for a quick help session 24/7. A virtual tutor will be able to assist you. Students may contact QCVA facilitators, but their availability will be limited.
Students, use your time wisely to improve your grades and cruise confidently into Quarter 2! A little focused work over fall break will make a big difference, fall into pace!
Hello Parents of High Schoolers!
After fall break, I will be starting to conduct the required 1:1 meetings with all QCVA high school students starting with Seniors first to discuss future planning based on a specific set of questions. Your students will be receiving an email from me within the weeks to follow informing them of scheduling a virtual meeting with the counselor.
In the meetings, we will discuss goals your child has for this school year and for their future. Additionally, we will talk about the steps and benefits in planning ahead, as well as any possible challenges reaching these goals. The responses to these questions will be recorded in a Google Form. Once I submit the form with the individual student's responses, an email will automatically be sent directly to that student's parent(s).
When you receive the email with your student's responses, please review it with them, then complete and submit the attached form titled "QCVA College/Career Readiness Parent Verification Form" so that I know you have received this information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you!
Andrea Rowan-Millan
School Counselor, M.Ed.
Queen Creek Virtual Academy

Queen Creek Virtual Academy will be on Fall Break from September 29 to October 10, following the QCUSD calendar. Please keep the following important notes in mind:
Staff Availability: QCVA staff and facilitators will have limited availability during the break. Please contact the QCVA office or your student's facilitator directly to check their schedules.
Time Trackers: Families are not required to submit minutes for the Time Tracker during the break (September 29 to October 12). However, please ensure you submit minutes for the week of September 22 to 28.
Coursework: Edgenuity courses do not have coursework due over the break, making this an ideal time for students to catch up if they are currently off pace.

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.
