TVLA Grades K–6 online application can be submitted with the complete understanding of, and agreement to, the following: 

I understand that the TVLA program is limited to 350 slots and that my child may be on a wait list. School is open for face-to-face instruction for students on the wait list and begins Wednesday, August 18th. 

I understand and agree that due to the necessary delay for staffing the TVLA program, the first two weeks of virtual instruction will be asynchronous and parent led. Lessons will be placed in Canvas for students to complete. Online support will be provided. Synchronous instruction will start August 30. 

I understand and agree that the TVLA program will be offered through October 29. Students will be required to return to in-person learning at their home campus on Monday, November 1. Decisions to amend the start and stop dates will be based on the continuous review of the TVLA options throughout the first two grading periods. 

I understand and agree that TVLA students will remain enrolled in the online learning program through Friday, October 29, 2021.  

I understand my student cannot switch between TVLA and face-to-face learning in the middle of a grading period. Requests to return to in-person learning will only be considered at the end of the first six-weeks grading period, which ends September 24, 2021. 

I understand and agree that upon acceptance into the TVLA program, my child will attend online learning under the instruction of a teacher that may not be associated with my child’s campus and class enrollment may include students from different campuses. 

I understand and agree that my student will meet academic, attendance, and behavior expectations to ensure success in the TVLA program. 

I understand and agree that my student will comply with the BISD Student Code of Conduct and the Technology Acceptable Use Guidelines when enrolled in TVLA program. 

I understand and agree that upon return to in-person learning on Monday, November 1, 2021, enrollment in elective courses is dependent upon seat availability.  

I understand and agree that TVLA enrolled students are ineligible to attend in-person learning, in-person student programs, and in-person student events at the student’s home campus upon acceptance into the online learning program.
