What are real parents saying about REACH?
Dawna Lee said, “I cannot say THANK YOU enough to the ENTIRE STAFF @REACH for sticking with us through some really tough years and really working with my child after years of trauma and illness to find the right learning tools and programs my child needed to get back on track with their education. There truly are no words to describe my heart this time. You gave/are giving my child their future back and the joy in my heart is indescribable. Happy tears! Thank you!
To other parents reading this post: REACH may not be right for EVERY child/family, BUT neither are traditional schools or home schools. However the staff at REACH, in my opinion went above and beyond to find the right learning tools for my child after years of medical issues, a family tragedy and severe bullying in the traditional public school left us feeling like no one other than myself really cared about my child and their future. REACH STAFF cares and when one thing isn’t working they help to find other options until one works! I highly recommend REACH.”
We are so thankful for the opportunity to offer transformative, personalized education to our students. If that sounds like something up your alley, don’t forget that enrollment is coming up!

It’s Spring and we are just loving the season. Get outside today!
Let’s hear it for our home-based kids! We might not see you on campus as much as our hybrid and place-based kids, but we know you are working hard!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so thankful for our teachers. They are what makes REACH the school that it is. Their hard work and dedication impacts the lives of every student who comes through their doors. We are so thankful for them!
Sound off in the comments… Which REACH teacher do you want to give a shout out to?

Bikes, sneakers, and kids, oh my! Last week, our Evans Valley kids took to the track to raise money for our school. They got pledges beforehand and chose to be either a runner or a biker. The pledges will go towards PE equipment and classroom supplies. On Friday, they had an hour to do as many miles as they could and they did a great job!
Today is National School Lunch Hero Day! And, boy, do we have some really phenomenal lunch heroes for our kids. For our place-based and hybrid students, they can either bring a lunch or have a hot lunch. We work with local food vendors to supply tasty, nutritious, homemade meals for our students. It makes lunch time simply a treat!

Last week, 10 of our high schoolers had the opportunity to explore Careers in Gears. This annual event gives students the chance to explore more than 120 Rogue Valley employers.
Thank you to all the employers who took time to talk to our students about their fields, companies, and careers!

What is the difference between a GED and a high school diploma?
A General Educational Development (GED) is a high school equivalency diploma, while a diploma demonstrates high school graduation. The GED test is a 7-hour test that covers language arts, math, social studies, and science. When someone passes this test, it demonstrates equivalent knowledge in these core subjects as someone who holds a high school diploma.
According to the GED Testing Service, “Just under 100% of U.S. schools accept the GED, including community colleges, private secondary or technical institutes, and universities.”
It is a very valid way to start secondary education and get into a career for students who cannot, for whatever reason, complete high school.
As a school of choice, we firmly believe this is a good choice for some young people. It’s why we offer our Reengagement Program, where we help young people prepare for and take the GED test. We pay for the whole thing and see these young people through the whole way.
And best yet, we have seats open in this program.
If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, learn more and fill out the interest form on our website:

Our students took to the ice for some winter fun! We always enjoy the opportunities to get both our campuses in one spot and see our kids have some serious fun! We firmly believe that learning is done best when you take some time to get out, get your body moving, and have a good time.
The Spring is quickly approaching and, with it, the enrollment deadline for our Early College Program this Spring term.
If your high-schooler wants to save money on college, explore careers and technical programs, and more, then schedule an informational meeting!
