My child is currently on a transfer for another LISD Academy or program (ex. STEM Academy, Spanish Immersion, or Dual Language Spanish Learner). Will my student’s spot be held?

A student’s spot will not be held for the 2021-2022 or 2022-2023 school year if they choose to participate in the Elementary Virtual Learning Academy during the 2021-2022 school year. However, a student can apply for the program during the enrollment periods as a new applicant. For a Spanish learner, the student would need to follow the procedures of applying to the program and testing into the program by demonstrating Spanish proficiency at the correct grade level, if space at the campus is available.

What is the eligibility criteria for the Elementary Virtual Learning Academy?

Students must be passing all academic areas, have zero behavioral concerns, and engage in their synchronous and asynchronous work in order to have a strong attendance record.
