Support Services for Returning Students

Once accepted, students are admitted to attend River Oaks for the remainder of that school year.  Often students are encouraged to return to their base school for the next year.  Transition meetings are scheduled one week after the end of the school year.  At that time, River Oaks staff meets with base school representatives to discuss the students progress and plan for the students placement during the next school year.  If students have been responsive to River Oaks as and intervention, they are often allowed to return to our school if problems re-occur after returning to their base school.
