HUSD's High School Online utilizes the web-based learning system Canvas with all grades 9-12 and will use the Florida Virtual Curriculum. Our Canvas platform will look similar for all teachers and courses. Canvas setup makes it easy to find coursework and outline assignment due dates in a calendar. In each student's Canvas classroom portal, there will be orientation videos regarding the use of Canvas and will show how to access and navigate the platform.

Higley Virtual Academy 25-26 Course Guide

Students in high school (grades 9-12) students can choose to be full-time online or have a hybrid schedule. See below for the breakdown for hybrid schedule options.

Reporting of attendance is mandatory to stay enrolled in the program. We believe attendance is important to the success of student learning. This will ensure your student is on track and in compliance with state laws (we are required to withdraw any full-time student who does not log in for 10 consecutive days). Attendance must be submitted for all students and is reported weekly by parents/ students. A total of one hour per-class per-day must be logged and submitted at the end of each school week before Sunday at midnight.

Post attendance through ParentVue using the directions below. We suggest you wait until the end of the week to submit attendance to avoid accidentally locking your attendance. Step-by-step video: How to take attendance. or follow steps below.

• Log in to ParentVue at https://parentvue.husd.org/.
• Click on Attendance in the left-hand menu.
• Click on Time Tracker in upper right-hand corner.
• Enter Hours for each class--enter one hour a day for each class
• Click on Update Times button in upper right-hand corner.
• Confirm that the hours you are submitting are correct, and click Submit again

The cut off for making adjustments to your student's schedule is after the first 10 days of school. You will need to make sure you reach out to your student's counselor at Williams Field High or Higley High about making any changes, during that period.

After the first 10 days of school, enrollment for the entirety of Semester 1 (July-December) is closed and you will have to wait until S2 (January-May) to enroll your student online/ adjust their online schedule. 

Modules open on Monday morning of every week. Students have the entirety of the week to finish assignments in that module with all assignments being due on Sunday night. Assignments will stay open an additional 13 days to allow students to submit late work, with accrued late penalties. They may log in anytime day or night and any day in order to review lessons and submit assignments and complete exams. Students can work ahead of schedule, if modules are opened early. 

There is no live instruction. All content is provided to students using PowerPoints, videos, and additional resources provided by each teacher. All teacher will have weekly office hours to meet with students virtually to answer and questions or concerns a student may have about their class. You can also contact your teachers through Canvas or email them in your StudentVUE/ ParentVUE.

The only required in-person instruction/assessments that are required are semester finals (taken in December and May). As testing approaches, Principal Byrd will be sending out information via email to all students and parents.
