To provide flexibility to the Parma City School District's families, All PVLA encore classes are:
- Self-directed and self-paced
- Accessed through Google Classroom
- Created by art, music, physical education, and health (middle school only) teachers
- PVLA students are not required to log into daily Google Meets for encore classes
- Students engage in encore classes through Google Classroom and complete the classes either independently or with the support of a parent/guardian
- PCSD encore teachers act as facilitators who monitor student progress, grade assignments, and support students in accessing lessons through Google Classroom
- Art, music, physical education, and health (middle school only) teachers do not teach encore classes live
Encore classes are required for PVLA students. Each assignment is graded and students receive a grade for each subject on their report card:
- K-4 students receive a grade of O, S, or U for art, music, and physical education
- Grades 5-7 students receive a grade of A-F on their report card for art, music, physical education, and health
