MCFARLAND, Wis., April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Wisconsin Virtual Academy (WIVA), a tuition-free online public charter school, reminds families with students in grades K-12 who are considering WIVA to submit an application during the state's open enrollment period which ends at 4 PM CST on Thursday, April 30, 2015. Submitting an open enrollment application does not commit families to enroll in WIVA for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year, but does provide them with the option to do so at a later date.

To help parents and children learn more about the program, WIVA will host free online information sessions on Wednesday, April 29, and Thursday, April 30.
