GCSVP Application 25-26

All Greenville County students have the opportunity to apply for the full-time Virtual Program.  The initial application for the 2025-2026 GCS Virtual Program opens at 8:00 AM on Monday, December 9, 2024, and will continue through 11:59 PM on Monday, February 3, 2025. To apply, students must be enrolled in Greenville County Schools, and parents must have a BackPack account. **The Virtual Program will not be offered for Specialized/Magnet Programs such as Charles Townes Center, Language Immersion, and preschool programs or the most intensive special education services, which is typically referred to as self-contained programming. **

**If your student is currently attending the Virtual Program for the current school year (24-25) and you want them to participate in the Virtual Program for the 25-26 school year, you MUST APPLY AGAIN.  Your student WILL NOT automatically be enrolled in the Virtual Program for the 25-26 school year.**    

Acceptance into the Virtual Program is not guaranteed just by applying through BackPack.  Student’s grades, attendance, previous performance in the Virtual Program, and schedule/credit needs will all play a factor in whether a student is accepted or declined for the 2025-2026 school year.

The application window is for those who are certain they want students to participate in the Virtual Program next fall. The Virtual Program will be staffed based on this early sign-up. Greenville County Schools will reopen the window during the second semester to create a waitlist.  Students on the waitlist will be scheduled based on space availability in the Virtual Program. 

We will email notifications of acceptance and Virtual Program contracts by February 14, 2025.  Students in the Virtual Program will be scheduled based on grade level and academic record.

Students will be expected to participate daily in live sessions at scheduled times with their cameras on and their faces visible. Those who fail to do so will be marked absent and are subject to truancy consequences.  Exceptions are based on extenuating circumstances and must be pre-approved in advance by a Virtual Program Administrator.  Students accepted into the Virtual Program for the 2025-2026 school year WILL NOT be eligible for Magnet Academies or changes in assignment choice. If a student is approved for a magnet or choice slot after being accepted into the Virtual Program, parents must state their intent by the deadline or forfeit their Choice/Magnet slot. 

See something, say something!

GCS Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats. The Chiefs of the six local municipal police departments join in full support. We ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely, help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something, Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students.
