Hello Parents,

Our Diocese is blessed to have a partnership with Smoky Valley Virtual Charter School that allows us to utilize IXL, a supplemental online math program, at no cost to our school.

To participate in this partnership, each family with a student in 1st–5th grade is required to complete this brief form by Friday, September 25th. Please complete one form per family and list all of your children and their grades if you have multiple students in 1st–5th grade.

Complete the form here.

As part of this partnership, the State of Kansas requires proof of residency for students participating through Smoky Valley Virtual Charter School. The form will ask you to securely upload one of the following documents showing your current Kansas address:

• Current Kansas driver’s license or ID renewal postcard
• Current vehicle registration
• Utility bill or equivalent dated within the last two months
• Bank statement, deed, or mortgage showing a current Kansas address
• Rent or lease agreement dated within the last year

The address on the document must match the student’s enrollment address and cannot be a P.O. Box.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me. Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this and for helping us provide this great resource for our students!

In Christ,

-Mr. Allen
