Est. 1998 Mauston Alternative Resource <strong>School</strong> (M.A.R.S.)<br />
The Mauston Alternative Resource <strong>School</strong> (MARS) achieved charter status<br />
in August 1998 to serve highly at-risk students in grades 6-8. These students<br />
are typically truant, credit-deficient, lacking motivation, teen parents, or<br />
gifted students whose educational needs are not being met in the traditional<br />
school setting. The charter school is located in a separate portable classroom<br />
behind Mauston High <strong>School</strong>. A program goal is to get these students back<br />
on track and reintegrated into a traditional academic program.<br />

• Medford, WI 54451-1771<br />
It is the mission of the Rural Virtual Academy (RVA) to provide student<br />
access to a challenging, high-quality, standards driven curriculum, in a<br />
flexible home environment. The RVA provides instructional programming<br />
to non-traditional K-8 students who may be homebound, medically fragile,<br />
formerly home-schooled, or do not benefit from the regular classroom<br />
environment.<br />
The RVA delivers self-paced instruction through a combination of<br />
electronic and paper learning with remediation and acceleration options.<br />
Communication with students and parents is done through e-mail, phone<br />
calls, and periodic face-to-face meetings. A teacher supports every<br />
parent/mentor in his or her task of helping students maximize their potential<br />
and meet the <strong>Wisconsin</strong> Student Performance Standards. Accountability is<br />
maintained through evaluation of student portfolios, WKCE, other<br />
commercial standardized tests, and parent/student satisfaction survey results.<br />
