The quality of our students’ education is paramount to us at the RVA. That is why, due to an unprecedented interest this year, the RVA has exceeded capacity of the school in both regular and special education in grades PreK - 8. We are putting a freeze on new enrollments for grades PreK - 8 effective 12:00 p.m. (noon) Thursday, August 9th.
A BIG thank you goes out to this RVA student who worked so hard and baked some very delicious cookies for the RVA staff last week for our summer staff meeting. The cookies were so yummy!!
As you well know, education and the diligence that gets you through are their own rewards. But the following students (and home mentors) will have a fabulous prize to enjoy as well.

We will also be mailing out packets to new students sometime in the next few weeks once we have all the forms we need from the State. If you have any questions, feel free to call the office at 1-888-801-2666. Thank you!!
This is a great question...there is absolutely NO cost for curriculum or anything else when you are enrolled in the RVA. We provide you with everything that you need, including curriculum and a chrome book (which is loaned to you upon request). We also reimburse you for your internet expenses (basic monthly fee) for every month you have a student enrolled in to our school. The RVA is a home-based public school. Because we are a public school, we want to provide all students with everything they need with no additional costs to families.
Congratulations to all of our graduates!!

Community Service Opportunity...
The Wisconsin DNR has a great opportunity for families to get involved with some exciting research. They will be catching newborn deer fawns and putting tracking collars on them to learn more about their survival rates in a Chronic Wasting Disease endemic area. Fawns are born in a relatively short period near the end of May, so we do a lot of work in a relatively short time window. Volunteers can assist in this effort by helping to search for, and capture, fawns as part of daily “search crews”. Volunteers meet at the Dodgeville DNR building and are shuttled to field sites where they help form a line that sweeps fields for newborn fawns. This is a lot of fun and a neat experience to see, and handle, fawns. The DNR shuttles volunteers, provides water, and coordinates the searches. Anyone who is 12 or older can participate with an accumpanying adult. So, bring your parent and siblings.
To sign up, send an email to Caitlin Henning caitlinhenning@wisconsin.gov or visit them on-line at https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/research/projects/dpp/
Mrs. Ray recently received this Science Project from a student. What a great job!!
