F2F (FAce to face) activities

OHVA recognizes the importance and value of student participation in social activities, which is why engagement in multiple social offerings at OHVA is required.

OHVA provides opportunities for students to meet in person and online to foster social emotional health and social skills for student-student and student-staff connections. Students will participate in social activities such as OHVA Online Clubs, K12 Zone, and face-to-face events to engage in the school and enrich the online learning experience.

OHVA requires that students attend or participate in a minimum of four (F2F) social activities during the school year, as is reasonable for unique student needs. The school prefers and highly recommends these activities be face-to-face; however, the requirement can be met through any social event (online or F2F). This engagement reinforces the value of meeting in person (F2F) for developing school relationships. OHVA staff and qualified Booster volunteers will provide in-person event opportunities to build positive school connections across the state.

To locate OHVA Activities view the online Event Calendar at www.localendar.com/public/ohva to view event additions throughout the school year. For ease of reference, the online calendar divides the state into 6 regions, with a unique color for each region’s activities.

Learning Coaches should register the student for school activities using the student’s ID number. Attendance hours for school events should also be entered in the Online School. The OHVA Student Code of Conduct and positive behavior expectations apply to any school activity, whether in person or online.

Student Travel and Trips

Opportunities for student travel may be presented during the school year. Please refer to Appendix I to view the OHVA Travel and Trips Policy in its entirety.

Student Clubs

OHVA offers a variety of interactive online clubs available for students of all grade levels. Students may participate in up to three school clubs. OHVA and National Club information can be found at: https://www.smore.com/n/6w3sy-ohva-clubs. Students should be in good academic standing to participate in clubs. Participating in 4 club meetings equates to attending 1 face-to-face (F2F) event.

National HOnor Society (NHS) and National Junior HOnor Society (NJHS)

National Honor Society Recognizes Students for Distinguished Service, Leadership

The National Honor Society is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. Since its inception in 1921, its mission has been to:

· Create enthusiasm for scholarship

· Stimulate a desire to render service

· Promote leadership

· Develop character in secondary school students

OHVA is proud to be recognized by the National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) for having an outstanding high school and middle school.

OHVA launched a chapter of the NJHS for the middle school in 2008 and currently has 49 members working on service projects and peer tutoring for fellow middle school students in math and reading.

The OHVA NHS chapter began in 2010 and has junior and senior members. OHVA National Honor Society members maintain a 3.8 GPA or higher and have been approved by OHVA faculty members based on their grades and the National Honor Society application requirements. New candidates who meet the 3.8 GPA requirement will receive an application in the mail in July.

Each year, NHS members complete individual service projects, as well as face-to-face group service projects, and peer tutoring for fellow students in all subject areas.

The chapters' combined efforts have resulted in:

Raising funds for those in need around the state
Peer tutoring programs for middle school and high school students
Collections for local food banks and humane societies
Ongoing plans for new volunteer opportunities each year
