Calcasieu Parish School Board will continue to offer an evolved and improved virtual program for students. The need for a quality virtual program is here to stay, and CPSB’s faculty and staff will ensure that a virtual option remains in place for those students who qualify.

Moving forward, CPSB will limit which students qualify to participate in virtual learning. Qualifications have been established to ensure that all students receive the best instruction possible for the success of their educational journey in our district. Those qualifications are outlined by grade level below.

4th – 8^th Grade

Students enrolling in CCR in these grades will be required to remain enrolled in the program for the entire school year. Extenuating circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis as they arise. Students must have reliable internet access at home, attend orientation with a parent/guardian, and adhere to daily attendance requirements. Virtual instruction for students in these grades will all be conducted by CPSB CCR teachers.

For students enrolled in special face-to-face programs such as TELC, STEM, Magnet, French Immersion or NEST, enrolling in CCR will result in the loss of their spot in the program for the entire school year. The student may enroll in the face-to-face program again the following year if space is available.

Students enrolling in CCR in these grades will be required to remain enrolled in the program for the entire year.  If a student enrolled in the CCR program is failing any course, he/she may be required to return to a face-to-face instructional setting.

22-23 CCR Students – Students must have the following qualifications:

• C or better average in previous courses
