FVS and GAVS

Students interested in taking a virtual course during the 26-27 SY must request the course no later than May 11. Students must complete the Online School Year Course Request Form and turn this into their counselor by May 11. As a reminder, students can take up to one virtual course as a part of their schedule next year and must register for the course through FV if offered. 

Online School year Course Request Form

Counselors register students for FVS courses in FVS Genius. Students who want GAVS courses must go in and request the courses first, then the counselor can approve those requests.

  • A courses = Semester 1 (Fall)
  • B courses = Semester 2 (Spring)
  • AB courses = Yearlong Course (Fall+Spring combined content in one semester, requires 2 periods of the schedule)

Students must request an online course for the school year within the appropriate course registration windows. Students who do not submit their online course request(s) within the designated windows will not be permitted to register for an online class in Fall or Spring Terms.
