2020-21 School Year Application
Omaha Virtual School is a program within Omaha Public Schools. We will follow the guidance from the district regarding attendance due to Covid-19 in the fall. If you are applying for the program, please understand that our typical model is blended and students must be able to physically attend classes with us once day per week.
Please read instructions carefully. Failure to follow the process may result in a delay in application processing. Submitting an application to OVS does not guarantee enrollment in our program. Students should continue attending their current school until OVS has sent acceptance via email and given you a start date.
Step 1
Click link below, fill out form, and submit.
Step 2
Gather supporting documents. You will need:
- A transcript or report card with attendance information from current/last school your student attended. N/A for homeschool or students currently enrolled in Omaha Public Schools.
- If your student resides outside OPS and has an IEP/504 plan, please attach a copy for special education to review.
- Please save these documents with your student's name. Ex. John Doe Report Card; John Doe IEP
The above listed documents must be digital (saved on a device, scanned, or as an image) and submitted using the Sharepoint document request link. The link is below, or at the bottom of the OVS application.
When will I know if my student is accepted?
Applications are reviewed on Tuesday morning of each week. If your application is received after that, you may not hear from us until the following week. We may need additional information from your school. When this is the case, we may need extended time to get in contact with your previous school during Covid-19 closures. If you have questions, please contact us at virtualschool@ops.org.
Once your application is approved, we will provide you with the next steps for enrollment. For a list of items that will be needed, please scroll to the bottom of our Enrollment FAQ page.
