Columbia Virtual Academy (CVA) is not a program where even the most independent learner can be left alone to work without parental support and guidance. As part of CVA's partnership with families, parents facilitate student learning by:

• delivering daily lessons (text-based curriculum, K-8);

• monitoring student progress (online curriculum, K-12);

• planning and navigating daily academic schedules;

• ensuring students are completing work;

• assisting with grading of student work;

• collaborating with CVA teachers;

• facilitating regular submission of work samples;

• preparing students for monthly reviews;

• preparing students for assessments'

• ensuring students have the necessary technology (high speed internet, updated browsers, plugins and settings, speakers and microphones, as applicable) and know how to use it;

• ensuring safe keeping and good care of all CVA instructional resources loaned to students ;

• ensuring that students demonstrate high-levels of academic integrity at CVA.
