A Look Back: NCVA Families Share Their Favorite Teacher Moments

As we move into summer and reflect on another successful school year, we want to take a moment to celebrate what truly makes North Carolina Virtual Academy (NCVA) special—our incredible teachers.

For Teacher Appreciation Week, we asked families to tell us about their favorite NCVA teachers and the difference they’ve made. The responses were heartfelt, inspiring, and a wonderful reminder of the strong connections formed in our virtual classrooms.

Here’s what a few families had to say:

Mrs. Proper & Mrs. Doerr are amazing 2nd grade teachers! Mrs. Ciampa & Mrs. Jones are the best 3rd grade teachers! Thank all for being fun & engaging — NCVA Learning Coach

Ms. Brancaccio is an excellent art teacher who my kids will always remember!  — NCVA Learning Coach

Mrs. Dingwall and Mrs. Broome of 4th grade are so fun, and their patience and kindness are outstanding. Mrs. Dingwall makes math a game, and Mrs. Broome is so helpful.  — NCVA Learning Coach

Mrs. Hackett & Mrs. Myers have both made my daughter’s time in Kindergarten at NCVA an absolute blast. She has nothing but the highest praise for them both. — NCVA Learning Coach

From building students’ confidence to making learning fun and personal, NCVA teachers go above and beyond to ensure every student feels supported, seen, and empowered. Whether it’s a thoughtful message, a creative lesson, or just being there to listen, these moments stick with our students and Learning Coaches long after the school day ends.

To all our families who took the time to share their stories: thank you. And to our NCVA teachers—your hard work, heart, and dedication do not go unnoticed.

Here’s to another great year ahead—and to the amazing teachers who make it all possible! 💙
