Cobb schools online learning lottery opens for spring semester

Submitted information:

As Superintendent Chris Ragsdale announced during the August Cobb Board of Education meeting, Cobb families will once again have an opportunity to choose the learning environment that best supports the needs of their student(s).
The District is offering all students (PK-12th grade) the option to enter a lottery for seats in the Elementary Virtual Program (EVP) or Cobb Online Learning Academy (COLA) at Cobb Horizon starting in January 2022.
Elementary lottery winners will remain enrolled in their current schools but will receive all instruction virtually from a certified EVP teacher starting in January. Middle and high school lottery winners will be withdrawn from their current schools and enrolled in COLA for the spring semester.

Enrolling adults may enter the lottery for full-time online learning between October 6th and October 19th, 2021.
Starting on October 6th, enrolling adults may enter the online learning lottery through ParentVue. Once logged in to ParentVue, enrolling adults should click Online Learning Lottery in the menu on the left and then click again at the top of the page. Select your choice for each of your students and click submit. You will receive an email confirmation regarding your lottery entry after the lottery window closes.
