  • Q: Is there a way to mark students as virtual so they show up on teacher’s rosters as virtual?
    • A: Sending a screenshot of what we did. IF you see “RO” or “ROA” or just “R” that stands for Redhawks Online Academy, which is what we have named our virtual school.

    • A: You can mark them under categories-district, but will need to set up a code for it. I used V for virtual. It shows on the profile page when teachers log in. You also need to mark them under Special Programs: ADM types as other and check mark the virtual student box.
