1. What are my DoDEA options for my student?

There are two options for your student: Either you choose (1) in-person learning or (2) the virtual learning option. Students who are enrolled in the virtual option, regardless of location in the world will follow the established calendar for the existing DoDEA Virtual High school. For students this year, the virtual learning option will begin on August 24. Students enrolled in this option will follow the scheduled calendar for the Virtual School. This schedule may vary from the calendars for in-person instruction in our community schools. In-person instruction dates for schools are found at https://www.dodea.edu/schoolCalendars.cfm.

 

2. Do we go to school in HPCON Charlie?

As per current DoD guidance, if an installation is in HPCON Charlie, schools will be closed to students, and we will begin the year in remote learning. For more info, visit the DoDEA Return to School website: https://www.dodea.edu/returntoschool.cfm .

 

3. Where can I find the link to register for DoDEA Virtual Learning Option?

6. Why is DoDEA having existing DoDEA teachers and parents log onto their DoDEA Google Account (either teacher or student) to access the teacher interest form and parent enrollment form?

The purpose of requiring existing DoDEA teachers and parents to log into their DoDEA Google account is to ensure that only DoDEA teachers and families can access these forms and to maintain the security of the forms. Login to your DoDEA Google account first to access the forms. If you are an existing DoDEA teacher or family and need DoDEA Google account log in support, you can email the following addresses:
