The Marshfield R-I School District offers a variety of 1st–12th grade courses in a virtual format. These courses are offered and facilitated by Marshfield teachers and instructors and can be an excellent option to meet the diverse needs of our students and families. All courses are aligned with the seated curriculum. MVP provides curriculum and instruction in a virtual format but is not a MOCAP-affiliated program.
Marshfield R-I open enrollment in virtual courses closes on the fifth academic day of the spring and fall semesters. Open enrollment for summer virtual courses closes five academic days prior to the start of the summer session. In order to be considered for MVP enrollment, a student must first complete district open enrollment and complete the MVP enrollment request form. Once district enrollment is complete, the student or parent should contact the Coordinator of Virtual Learning or the student’s counselor to receive the MVP request form.
Students taking courses virtually are subject to all district policies, procedures, and rules applicable to students enrolled in traditional courses, including but not limited to the district’s discipline code and prohibitions on academic dishonesty, discrimination, harassment, bullying, and cyberbullying.
When determining whether enrollment in a virtual course is the best educational decision for a student, the student and parent should consider the following:
-
The student has demonstrated time-management skills that indicate they can submit assignments and complete course requirements without reminders.
-
The student has shown persistence in overcoming obstacles and a willingness to seek assistance when needed.
-
The student has demonstrated verbal or written communication skills sufficient for success in an environment without nonverbal cues from instructors.
-
The student possesses the necessary computer or technical skills to succeed in a virtual course.
-
The student has reliable access to technology resources.
-
The student has previously been successful in virtual coursework.
