The NC WISE Year End Transition (YET) will be completed for NCVPS on July 18.  

Rising 9th graders will be in the high school accounts at that time. Transfer students and new schools will be available in the system, as well. 

Please contact your VLCs at that time if you need assistance.

I would like to thank each of you for your hard work and commitment to NCVPS over the last 5 years that I have been here.  Each of you have worked diligently to assure students have access to high quality educational opportunities through NCVPS.  

It is your dedication and passion that make the difference each and every day in these kids' lives.  The role of the e-learning coordinator and adviser is paramount in helping make online and blended learning successful, but more importantly, the work you do helps to move education in NC forward. 

Thank you again and wish each of you only the best!

From CR Algebra I and II teacher, Dail Midgette:

Kim Kirk, the ELA at Union Academy, goes above and beyond to help her students succeed in their Credit Recovery classes!  She has contacted teachers quickly with modifications and accommodations for students, she communicates regularly with parents and students, she responds quickly to teachers' requests, and she even helped set up an orientation for parents and students before the summer session started.  Thank you, Kim, for all you do!!!!

Student Password Issues

Passwords will not work until the first day of our Meet the Teacher program. That date is June 7. Please remember that students will not gain access to their courses for up to one business day after their enrollment.

If the student's password does not work on the first day of Meet the Teacher, go through the following steps:

1) Confirm that the student is enrolled and not waitlisted.

2) If the student is recently enrolled, remember that passwords will not work for 24 hours.

3) If the student is confirmed enrolled and it has been at least 24 hours since enrollment, then have the student submit an online ticket with our Help Center here: http://www.help.ncvps.org/   Click on "Open a New Ticket." The student or the E-learning Advisor can submit this ticket. Be sure to include the student's name, Wise number, and course that the student can't access.

4) If a student's password stops working anytime during the semester, have the student submit an online ticket with the Help Center.
