Support for Military Families

Transition is difficult. Military children and their families face a new challenge every time they pack up and move to a new duty station. Changing schools and the disruption of the educational journey is often cited as the most difficult part of the military life style. Through relationship building, Arkansas Virtual Academy is committed to supporting military students and families to make this transition less worrisome.  We value the sacrifices families make each and everyday. The district is committed to serving students of our military heroes and supporting them both emotionally and academically. 

The district has a dedicated Military Liaison, HS Assistant Principal Tami Ethridge, to provide support for our military families. Our counselors, at all building levels, also serve as a point of contact for our military families. They are trained to specifically assist families in any situation military students may face. This can include frequent relocation, enrollment, eligibility, graduation requirements, and dealing with a deployed parent.
