Online Kindergarten & 1st Grade

Get ready for amazing learning and growth at Fox Valley Virtual School! Our online Kindergarten and first-grade programs are designed to nurture curious young minds through hands-on exploration, personalized instruction, and a nurturing classroom environment.

What to Expect:

• A Nurturing Environment:
  Every child deserves to feel valued, supported and nurtured in their educational journey. Our dedicated team provides a warm and caring atmosphere, fostering a love for learning. With our small class sizes, we can truly get to know each student, their strengths, and their unique needs. This allows us to tailor our approach, providing the individualized care and attention necessary for their growth and success.
• Hands-On Learning Adventures:
  From math manipulatives to letter trays and whiteboards, our students engage in multi-sensory activities that make learning concrete and fun. These are provided by the district.
• A Flexible Schedule that Honors Family Needs:
  We understand the importance of balance. As a virtual elementary school, we incorporate flexibility into our daily and weekly schedules. Families love our open Thursday afternoons so they have dedicated time for quality family time, extracurricular activities, or even catching up on assignments and projects without the stress of regular classes. 
• Focused Learning Environment:
  Our classes have fewer interruptions than face-to-face classrooms, allowing us to maximize our time and stay focused on the joy of learning.
• Technology Integration:
  We embrace technology as a powerful learning tool, and our students quickly become tech-savvy. 

Our kindergarten and first-grade students constantly amaze us with their ability to embrace technology. While we guide them and nurture their skills, their natural curiosity and eagerness to learn allows them to rapidly become tech-savvy learners. In our classrooms, technology has never been a barrier to learning." - Fox Valley Virtual School Educator

• Enrichment Opportunities:
  Optional activities like group art or yoga sessions offer fun additional experiences. We also host Virtual Connection Time for optional fun activities and social connections with peers from other grades.
• STEM Days:
  Immerse in hands-on STEAM/STEM projects. From growing plants to exploring space patterns/cycles, these engaging sessions prepare our students for their next learning units.
• Annual Field Trip:
  Learning extends beyond the classroom with a yearly exciting field trip! Fox Valley Virtual School partners with Heckrodt Nature Center in Menasha and offers in-person field trips that align with the science curriculum.
