ONLINE COURSESMississippi Virtual Public School (MVPS) is a Mississippi web-based educational service offered by the Mississippi Department of Education to provide students and educators with access to a wider range of course work, with more flexibility in scheduling and with the opportunity to develop their capacities as independent learners. All students in grades 9-12 have access to “FREE” online courses through MVPS. Priority is given to seniors and juniors. No online courses will be offered that are tied to a Subject Area Test. Students may take non-core content courses for elective credit only. MVPS is not a credit-issuing or a diploma-granting institution. Over 35 courses are offered to high school students including the following: Computer Programming Basic Global Studies World History American Government Economics Latin Spanish English III & IV Earth Space Science Chemistry Marine Science Physics Algebra II Geometry Web Design Business Systems Technology Life Management Skills AP Courses
Students in Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and U.S. History will not be allowed to take these courses in summer school outside the Petal School District unless special permission is given by the Principal and Guidance office. Once final exams are completed for seniors, that is their final average. Seniors must enroll in summer credit recovery to complete graduation requirements.Section 2 Student Attendance Directory: cms -> lib03 -> MS01000823 -> Centricity -> Domain lib03 -> Hurricane Research Project Name: Hurricane: Dates of your storm: Part I lib03 -> Twenty rules for writing detective stories lib03 -> Packet Tracer Configure Initial Router Settings Topology Objectives Part 1: Verify the Default Router Configuration Part 2: Configure and Verify the Initial Router Configuration Part 3: Save the Running Configuration File Background lib03 -> Phonetic Alphabet lib03 -> Philosophy Basics lib03 -> Turning Point #5: Slavery and the Triangular Trade Domain -> Industrial Revolution a changing System lib03 -> Unit 3: Population and Migration Quiz lib03 -> Title: nato and the Warsaw Pact Download 438.68 Kb.
