If you missed the opportunity to register for summer credit recovery, you can still register!

If you are a high school student at River Valley, South Gallia, or SODA and wish to complete a credit recovery class this summer, because you previously failed a class that you attempted to take, please call the central office and let Lora Delaney know your name, your school, and the class you need to take as credit recovery. Lori Bevan will call you back to get you registered. This is a great way to complete your class without having to take the class again for a full year. Don't miss this opportunity!

Summer Advantage: Focused Growth for Your Student

We are pleased to announce we will be hosting Summer Advantage (summer school) again this year!

This summer, Summer Advantage is doing things a little differently. We are offering a targeted summer program designed to give students the "extra edge" they need to strengthen skills for the upcoming school year.

Dates: June 2nd through June 30th Off June 19 (holiday)
When: Monday through Friday
Time: 8:00am - 12:00 noon
Where: River Valley HS (AE, SW, VE, RVM & RVHS) and
South Gallia HS (HT, SGM, SGHS)

By limiting the enrollment this year, the grant is focusing on providing a high-impact learning environment, that is a personalized experience by keeping the Summer Advantage program sizes small and teaching very intentional.

To ensure we are supporting students where it matters most, enrollment will be prioritized for those who can benefit from targeted growth in one or more the following areas:
● Credit Deficient & Recovery: Crossing that finish line for graduation! (grades 6-12)
● State Test Mastery: Extra coaching to ace those upcoming summer assessments.
○ Scored Limited or Basic on Ohio State Tests
● Reading & Math Growth: Focused sessions to boost literacy, master skills, and confidence.
○ Red in STAR Early Literacy, Reading, Math, or Acadience Testing
● Potential Retention: Grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade
● Absenteeism: those missing 10% of year (17+ days)
● Social Emotional Risk Factors

Students who attend 85% of the time (17 out of 20 days) will earn incentives! Your attendance matters. The attendance policy will not excuse sickness (nor doctor’s notes), funerals, tardies, early releases, nor excuse camps (only exception is the ESC-sponsored academic camps-Career Palooza, Art Camp). These will be counted as a day absent.

● $225 Clothing, $65 Shoes, $50 Backpack and school supplies
● Drivers education paid for

Our goal is to turn "I can't" into "I did!"

Registration details are on the flyer, so apply today using QR
code (on flyer) or LINK: https://forms.gle/PL7D9fZNzBetwJz76, and if your student meets these priority criteria you will be notified of your acceptance by the email you provided in your child’s
enrollment form .

We can’t wait to see them shine!
