Students/Parents

TxVSN courses can be done at home or at school. Your school district will provide a site coordinator (contact your school counselor to find out who the site coordinator is) who will help you enroll, and help you throughout the course. You are responsible for your computer and internet connection (except when accessing the course at school). In this section, both prospective and current students will find information pertaining to TxVSN courses, recommendations, suggestions for course of action, and resources for help.
