2025-2026 Academic Calendar

For information about school policies and procedures, please read our Student Handbook.

Please email us at records@vprepwy.org with questions about student records and transcripts.

  • K – 6th grade students attend 900 hours/year (25 hours per week).
  • Students in Grades 7 – 8 attend 950 hours/year (approx. 26.5 hours per week).
  • Students in Grades 9 – 12 attend 1000 hours/year (approx. 27.8 hours per week).

VPAW students do not need to reach these required hours in the year. However, these weekly average hours help VPAW track participation and are helpful indicators for parents to gauge student participation.

Wyoming State Law requires:   

  • To allow for flexible schooling, participation is recorded Monday through Sunday (not just Monday-Friday). Please note, you cannot record more than 10 hours of school a day.
  • According to WDE, Virtual Education students’ attendance is tracked through weekly course participation elements.

 

Participation elements are defined as: a student’s course activity, assignments submitted, teacher approved offline tracker, graded assignments, attendance to live and recorded teacher instruction, participation in testing, and teacher discretion. Failure to meet weekly participation in a course may result in an unexcused absence for the course if no documentation is provided. *Having no internet is an UNEXCUSED absence.

Course Attendance: Students in grades K-10 must log into each graded course card at least once a week and be engaged in the course Monday through Sunday. This will be translated into an attendance code Mon-Fri. If there are 10 consecutive absences in any 1 graded course, an 11th absence causes loss of membership.

Daily Attendance: 10 consecutive absences, per state law, the student will become truant, an 11th absence results in loss of membership (removal) from Virtual Prep Academy of WY (VPAW).
