There’s only one person in charge of your academic success…and that’s you!

If you're taking a Florida Virtual School (FLVS) course for the first time this year, the FLVS Quick Start videos are a great place to learn about course basics and topics like academic integrity and where to find important information to help you become a successful FLVS student.

Start with our New Student Orientation video that contains five important items you'll need to know to be successful in your FLVS courses. Then, watch the other videos that will walk you through our Student Dashboard, navigational tools, school options, and more.

You should know that your instructors will be using proctored exams, online comparisons, and discussion-based assessments to verify the work is yours. To stay on top of your course schedule – be sure to print your pace charts, submit your work on time, and track your progress in your online gradebook. Don’t forget to read your teacher’s comments too! The personalized feedback you receive will help improve your work and give you encouragement to keep going. If you have questions along the way, know that your instructors want you to do well and are here to help. That’s why they’re available via phone, email, or text. You can find your instructor’s contact information inside your student dashboard.

Which brings us to your dashboards. When you’re ready to login, go to flvs.net and click login to access your student dashboard. Once you select a course, you will be taken to what’s known as your course dashboard, where you can find your teacher contacts, course information, grades, messages, pace charts, and more. Spend some time with your dashboards. Almost everything you’ll need is right there!

Even help is just one click away. If you have questions about your course – call, email, or text your instructor.

Thank you for choosing to become an FLVS student. We are really glad you are here!
