Summer VCAP

Parent/Guardian Acknowledgment of VCAP Participation

Parent/Guardian Acknowledgment of VCAP Participation

The parent or guardian's signature, now located in the district’s Guide to Student Success on page 22, will serve as formal acknowledgment of the student’s enrollment in the VCAP and their intent to earn course credit through Edmentum Courseware.

This systematic one-time signature confirms that the parent or guardian understands and accepts the expectations, requirements, and responsibilities associated with participation in the VCAP program. It also affirms their awareness that successful completion of Edmentum coursework may result in the awarding of academic credit.

This acknowledgment is mandatory and must be on file prior to the student earning any VCAP credit.

Edmentum Learning Support

The Virtual Credit Advancement Program (VCAP) is now and extension on the Columbus Online Academy. We are excited to present the continued renovation of the Virtual Credit Advancement Program. VCAP has been redesigned, utilizing refreshed learning measures with a focus on accountability and integrity. VCAP offers opportunities for all CCS students to complete courses through a district-approved online platform supported by highly qualified teachers. Teachers are available in person during the prescribed times identified by the high school (i.e., optional afterschool labs, scheduled VCAP period, etc.). To engage with VCAP, all students must be enrolled in the Columbus City Schools district.
