Our School

On-Demand Parent Orientation

Switching to a new school, especially online, can be a big shift for you and your child, but you don’t need to worry! We’ve created videos to guide and support you along the way. 

Where to Find Information

Homeroom

Homeroom is your student's "go-to" information center. They'll see school announcements, find the link to Inspiration Hour, and more!

Canvas Hub & Orientation

The WA Hub course in Cavas is where your child will complete orientation assignments and find information specific to Williamsburg Academy students.

Parent & Student Handbook

The Parent and Student Handbook is a one-stop shop for finding our policies, waivers, forms, available student services, graduation info and more.

Website Overview

This video explains how to navigate our website and find information, including the Parent Resource Center.

Tech & Environment

Setting Up a Study Space

Having a designated study space will help your student focus and get more out of their classes.

Tech Requirements

As an online program, your student will need access to a reliable computer, a webcam, and microphone.

Zoom Etiquette

We ask all students to follow a few Zoom etiquette guidelines. This allows us to hold online classes where students can connect with peers authentically.

SIS Training

Student Performance Data

Through SIS, you can keep tabs on your student's grades and pacing, and see when they last accessed Canvas.

Messaging in SIS

Log into SIS to send messages directly to your student's mentors or another member of the Williamsburg team.

Registering for Classes

Class registration for both fall and winter semesters can be done simultaneously through SIS.

Ordering Books & Materials
