Requesting Courses (continued)

Then select the course you want to take, and on the course screen, do the following:
1) Select one or both segments, according to instructions from your guidance counselor. If you want
both segments, you must check both 1 and 2.
2) Choose your preferred start date after consulting with your guidance counselor.
3) If you wish to have a local Santa Rosa teacher, choose Santa Rosa Online (see below on right)
under “Course Availability.” If Santa Rosa Online does not offer the class, then choose
Florida Virtual School instead for the class.

Once you have chosen the appropriate virtual school provider, press “Add to Backpack” and then
request additional courses or logout.
Verifying Course Requests

Parent’s Responsibility: The parent should login and verify the enrollment of each segment of each
class by checking the verification box beside each class name. Failure to do this step will result in
the request not being included on the list of students waiting to be assigned a teacher.

Once the classes have been verified by both the parent and the guidance counselor, the coordinator for
Santa Rosa Online will assign teachers. Once teachers are assigned, the teacher will make a welcome
call to the student and the parent and then activate the student in Educator, Florida Virtual School’s
learning management system. Once a student is activated, he/she will be able to begin doing lessons.

ALL STUDENTS and PARENTS should be sure to watch “FLVS Quick Start: New Student
Orientation” (link found on the student dashboard when you login to FLVS) before the student begins
virtual classes.
