Please note the requirements below for student and parent/guardian email addresses in the Genius SIS.
Student Email Addresses
- A unique, school-approved student email address is required as a condition of enrollment. Instructors will contact the student at this email address, so the email account must be active and regularly checked by the student.
- For grades K–3, consider using the parent/guardian’s email address for the student’s email address. For grades 4–12, the student email address cannot match the parent/guardian’s, counselor’s, or mentor’s email address. If the school does not provide school-assigned email addresses to its students, then a personal email address for the student must be provided.
Parent/Guardian Email Addresses
- A unique parent/guardian email address is required as a condition of enrollment. Instructors and Virtual Virginia administration will contact the parent/guardian at this email address with important information about their child, so the email account must be active and regularly checked by the parent/guardian.
- For grades K–12, the parent/guardian email address cannot match the counselor’s or mentor’s email address. For grades 4–12, the parent/guardian’s email address cannot match the student’s email address.
- If the parent/guardian says they do not have an email account, they are required to create a free personal email account. Virtual Virginia recommends Gmail as a free option for this requirement.
