Dear Families and Students,
Today, Taylor County Schools is opening registration for virtual students in grades 6-12 only for the first semester. As last year, rules have been established for participation. Please review these carefully before completing the form registering your student for participation. The health and safety of all students and staff remains our number one priority.
1. West Virginia Virtual School is the platform we will use.

3. Registration opens Monday, Monday, August 1, 2022, closing Monday, August 15, 2022, for the first semester.
