Tangipahoa offers a Virtual Learning Option that provides a comfortable learning environment without losing the traditional benefits of our public school system.
Application Window April 1, 2023 - June 1, 2023
VIRTUAL LEARNING OPTION - APPLY NOW
Complete this form to apply for your child/children to become a virtual student for the 2023-2024 school year. Your children will not be accepted into the program unless approved and attend mandatory orientation. This application is only for new students coming to the virtual program.
What Is the TPSS Virtual Learning Option?
The TPSS Virtual Learning Option is a tuition-free, virtual learning option for public school students grades K-12. TPSS also provides all the tools necessary to get started at no extra cost. Any student enrolled in public school can participate in the arts, sports, select TOPS Tech, dual enrollment classes, as well as other programs.
Saves time because the program is already established within the district and allow parents to have a supportive role in their child's education rather than that of an educator.
Saves money because there’s no tuition, no supplemental material to purchase, no extra tutoring or support to pay for, and laptops/tech are provided by the district.
Saves stress because it allows for a relatively seamless transition to further education and offers flexibility for social and emotional growth for your child.
