Hello PA Virtual families! As we've sailed through the first month of school, it’s been really heartwarming to see so many of our students enter the classrooms eager and ready to learn. The desire for learning and curiosity of our students never ceases to amaze us! It was also a delight catching up with many of you during our picnics and outings across Pennsylvania. Massive shout out to our Family Support Coordinators - they are the best! What a fantastic way to bond and share some laughs, from capture the flag, to crafts, kickball, Super Squirrel appearances, and just good conversation... it's always a great time. Anyways, as we keep rolling, make sure to take a peek at all the exciting clubs and events we’ve lined up on Blackboard on our outings page. These are perfect chances to dive deeper with some hands-on experiences, meet some new friends, and spice up the school days! Who doesn't love a good field trip? Onto the good stuff - adjusting to virtual school. For those of us who have been in a virtual learning environment before, we know the challenges ahead of us. But no worries, falling back to fundamentals will always win out (that goes for everything). So as I go through these suggestions, realize that some of them are tailored for our synchronous students, students who are actively in classrooms with our teachers day to day, and some for our asynchronous students who independently learn with regular supervision and guidance from our teachers.

The role of a parent in a child’s education cannot be emphasized enough. Parents are a child's first teacher, and children imitate what they know, especially in the younger formative years when a love or distaste for education can take root. Even as children grow into high school, parents continue this crucial role by providing guidance, support, and encouragement. Navigating the world of teenagers from a parent’s perspective is not easy. Academic challenges, social pressures, and making important decisions about the future can be daunting.

About Cyber Education | Insider Perspectives
Cyber schools have certainly come to light in recent years! During the COVID-19 pandemic, families searched and learned about new avenues for their students. These unique pockets of learning were rediscovered by many and greatly appreciated. It was during these times that families realized their power in school choice. As a result, school districts either amplified or developed their own cyber schools. Families are again torn as they search for the correct path for their students. In this article, we will review the two types of cyber schools and their merits to help sort out the differences.
