BCVSS understands that there may be medical situations that would necessitate a request to transfer into the virtual program after the application window closes. If your child has a medical situation or documented medical issue which impedes the ability to attend a traditional brick-and-mortar learning environment, you can request to have the application window opened for your child. Remember all required criteria to attend BCVS will still apply for medical waivers.  If you are applying from outside of the BCBE System, we will need a copy of your child's transcript to review for consideration.

Two documents are required along with the application:

Exceptions to Open Enrollment Window

Students seeking admittance through the extreme chronic illness process must submit the following documents and meet the following requirements.  All requests will be reviewed before approval by the applications committee.

• Health Plan from current school
• Doctor’s letter of the request to attend due to extreme chronic illness
• Parent’s letter explaining the request
• Application
• Students must meet all enrollment requirements.

**IMPORTANT: Your waiver will NOT be processed UNTIL the Doctor's letter / medical records are sent and the waiver packet is complete. **

When the waiver packet is reviewed by the committee, the eligible student and parent will be sent the application form to complete.  Students who meet the enrollment criteria will be enrolled in BCVS as soon as is feasible.  The medical waiver and application process takes approximately two weeks.  While the medical waiver and application are in process, students are expected to continue attending their current school.  Any missed days during this process will accrue as absences.

To apply to attend the Baldwin County Virtual School please complete the application at this link.  Make sure you send in all the required documentation before filling out the application.  https://baldwinapps.bcbe.org/player.htm?f=v4MGggEn

REMEMBER:

Please ensure that you are obtaining these: (1) the doctor’s letter with explanation of severity of situation and request for virtual school and (2) a parent letter explaining why you feel that virtual school is the best option for your child. Your waiver will NOT be processed unless the above documents are emailed to bcvss@bcbe.org within 10 business days of the Waiver Request Form submission.
