Our system automatically sends an email requesting verification, but verification is not required. You can still complete the registration without verifying your email.
A new registration needs to be completed for each student you are enrolling. If you are enrolling multiple children, you can clone (copy) a registration. To clone a registration:
1. Complete all 13 pages of the registration for your first student.
2. Click the Home link on the upper left-hand side of the page. Under your first student’s name, you will see a blue question mark icon. Click this icon to copy all information to a new registration.
3. Update the information in the cloned registration for your additional student (name, date of birth, grade level, school information, etc.)
Please enter the name and contact information for the school your child most recently or currently attends.
If your child is entering kindergarten, you may leave this section blank or include preschool information.

If your child has qualified for Special Education services, we ask that you provide the most up-to-date documentation. You can obtain these documents by contacting your current or previous school district.
An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is a written plan that is developed at an IEP meeting and includes a description of all the programs and services necessary to help a student make progress in school. The IEP team uses information that is contained in the Evaluation Report (ER) or Re-Evaluation Report (RR) to write the IEP.
The Evaluation Report (ER) documents the results of the initial multidisciplinary evaluation conducted on a student and the multidisciplinary evaluation team’s decision regarding the student’s eligibility for special education.
The Re-Evaluation Report (RR) documents the review of existing evaluation data, the decision about whether additional evaluation data are needed, and the conclusion about a student’s continued eligibility for special education services.
The purpose of this notice is to summarize for the parents the recommendations of the Local Education Agency (LEA) for the child’s educational program and other actions taken by the LEA.
Per FERPA* Guidelines, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student’s education record. Click here to download the Parent Request for Records form to provide written permission to the school.
If you are having difficulty obtaining any of the requested records, please contact us to discuss your options.
*The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
If someone other than the parent or legal guardian will be acting as a student’s Learning Coach, the Learning Coach Consent Form must be completed. The parent or guardian enrolling the child will need to sign this form.
Missing the paperwork deadline may impact the date your child can start with PA Virtual. If you are having trouble obtaining the proper documentation, please contact us.
Once all documents and forms are submitted and approved, we will contact you for your Approval Phone Call. During this call, we will review the information you’ve submitted, answer any questions you may have, provide you with your child’s start date, and let you know what to expect next.
Your child should remain enrolled and attending at your local district until a withdrawal date is determined during your Approval Phone Call.
