Middle School Support
Every VLACS middle school student has a team of professionals who do their best to ensure that they have the best possible learning experience.
Instructors
Certified and experienced instructors provide one-to-one instructional support and feedback to students regularly.
Parents are always encouraged to become involved in their child’s academic careers at VLACS. In addition to virtual meetings, parents receive monthly communications and progress reports from their student’s instructors. Parents and guardians can check on their student’s progress anytime through their parent account at VLACS.

Students can access the Academic Help Desk to get answers to questions related to their courses if their instructor is not available. To locate the Academic Help Desk, visit your course page, select the "Need Help?" button and answer the prompted questions.
Additionally, our Technical Help Desk staff are available to help solve problems with any VLACS technology. If students or parents have other questions that they need to be answered, our office staff is available Monday through Friday to help.
Special Education Services
At VLACS, students work at a pace that meets their needs and have the opportunity to redo assignments, tests, and projects as they work toward mastery of competencies. In many cases, our learning model meets the requirements prescribed in IEPs. As per the IEP, our staff works with the student’s school district to create a positive learning experience when additional support is required. As per New Hampshire law, a student’s resident district shall have the responsibility, including financial responsibility, to ensure the provision of special education and related services in the child’s IEP. New Hampshire law does not apply to out-of-state students.
