Apponequet Regional High School teacher Bonnie Ferreira recently received an e-mail from a parent. But this wasn’t a typical e-mail. It wasn’t about a student at Apponequet, or even a student from another Massachusetts school. It was from a parent in China, and it was about the Advanced Placement Biology online course Ferreira will be teaching in the fall. The e-mailer’s daughter wants to become a doctor, and she needed a recommendation from a teacher in an AP biology course, which was not offered at any local high school. The will likely get what she needs in Ferreira’s course, part of a Maynard-based program called Virtual High School. Ferreira is the only Apponequet teacher who will oversee a Virtual High School course. She and other school officials are excited about Apponequet’s involvement in the program.
