Home School Support We at Roanoke Valley Christian Schools want to be a support to parents who have the conviction to home school their children. In an effort to express our support, the following services are available to you: Partial Enrollment: Partial Enrollment is offered for students in grades 7-12. If interested, an enrollment application must be completed. A fee for individual classes is set each year. For more information, call the main school office. Curriculum/Textbooks: Upon request, a current listing of our textbooks can be supplied to you. In most situations, there are duplicate copies of student texts available on a rental basis to you as a homeschooler. 1.Rental fee per book - $5.00 per book 2.Deposit to be paid in addition to rental fee - the deposit will be refunded when books are turned in satisfactory condition ($30 per book not to exceed $100). 3. Parents requesting consumable items or other books which are not available through RVCS are welcome to come to the school and look through catalogs. Catalogs may not be removed from school property. In addition, administrative assistants are not allowed to order books for home school parents. 4. Each individual family may request only one copy of each textbook that is available. Multiple copies are not permitted. 5. The school reserves the right to recall a textbook should RVCS enrollment increase. Standardized Testing: Each year, the school has a week scheduled for Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). Parents have the option of bringing their child to the school during that week for the test. The testing fee is $50. You can make arrangements for your child by calling the main school office at 366-2432, ext. 120. Also, there are teachers who are willing to administer a standardized test on an individual basis. To secure a list of these individuals, also call the main school office. The testing fee would still be $50. In our opinion, we believe that a child would benefit and have a more accurate test result if he or she is tested individually. Please click here to see other options available through ACSI. Field Trips: At the beginning of each school year, field trips are planned for each of the grade levels. If there is an interest for your child to participate in any of these field trips, a listing can be provided for you. This information includes the places, the academic departments for which the field trip enhances learning, the time of the year in which the field trip is held, and the approximate cost. Once an interest has been indicated to us regarding specific field trips, more detailed information will be sent. Library Usage: We invite home school students and their children to take advantage of our two libraries which are located in the lower and upper school buildings. Please call the school office to secure hours which are available for you to come and check out books. If there are other services for which we could help, please do not hesitate to contact Zac Hellkamp (540-366-2432, ext. 160) or zhellkamp@sbcfamily.org and express your request. We thank you for the opportunity to be a partner with you as you home school your child. Requirements for home schooling children in Virginia can be found in §22.1-254.1. Resources for home instruction are listed on the VDOE Private Schools and Home Schooling page at: http://www.doe.virginia.gov/students_parents/private_home/index.shtml.

What is the Tax Credit Program? The state of Virginia setup the Virginia Education Improvement Scholarship Tax Credit Program (EISTC): https://www.doe.virginia.gov/data-policy-funding/school-finance/education-improvement-scholarships-tax-credits-program program to help provide low income families an opportunity to attend a private school like RVCS. This program allow residents and businesses of the state of Virginia who pay state taxes the ability to allocate a portion of their payments to approved Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs). These organizations work with schools like RVCS to provide scholarships to families in need. The two main organizations RVCS partners with are Renewanation and Association of Christian Schools International (ASCI). Renewanation has a very helpful website: https://renewvascholarships.org/ that answers many regarding the program. With the new tax reform, there have been some slight changes, but the impact is still significant to most donors. For many donors this allows them to multiply their giving and have greater control over where their taxes monies are going. Brief Overview of How the process works: Donor completes pre-authorization process. Contact Zac Hellkamp for digital form. This does not commit the donor to anything. This is asking the state permission to give monies to an approved Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) and receive a tax credit. Minimum donation: $500/individual Maximum: $125,000/individual (if married, each spouse may give up to the max.) No limits for business donations. This form is either submitted directly to an SGO or the Virginia Department of Education. We recommend submitting it directly to a SGO as they can track its approval process and in many cases have approval the same day. We utilize the following two organizations: 1. Renewanantion (Curtis Cornell curtis@renewanation.org ) They can send a personalized link for donor approval Process takes about a day Benefit of having them file the preauthorization form is that they can track it for a donor. 2. ACSI – Children’s Tuition Fund Have a very similar process via online Not local but the process is quick Once approval is granted, the donor will receive the approval form. They are to submit this with their donation to one of the approved SGO’s. Donors have up to 180 days to give once approved. Donors do not have to give the full amount they are approved for, but must meet the minimum donation requirement in order qualify for the program. Donors are not permitted to write anything in the memo section. Donors are permitted to include a note asking for monies to be preferred to a specific school if they have qualified students. Donors may spread their donation over the 180 day (e.g., two separate checks for half the amount). If they spread the donation over more than one payment, they will need to photo copy their approval letter. Once the form and donation is received, the SGO will notify the state. The state in return will issue a tax credit form to the donor who will hold on to this and apply it to the current year’s taxes. With their donation, they will receive a 65% state tax credit. This credit can be carried up to 5 years. THE PROCESS IS STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT OFTEN MANY QUESTIONS ARISE.
