RYC's School Success Program

Picture
Educational success is a vital part of life success for youth experiencing behavioral/emotional difficulties. RYC emphasizes school success, with individualized school tracking and support in the school environment from mental health associates, as an avenue to develop social skills, work ethic, emotional/behavioral self-regulation, and other pro-social behaviors that can improve overall functioning and achievement in all areas of life. 
RYC teaches youth to gain control of educational achievement and planning through a rigorous school success program. RYC offers the option of year-round school, including weekend study hall and study skills groups, for those students needing to catch up to grade level or those wishing to get ahead.
RYC works closely with Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District to either maintain or develop a youth's education completion plan, and often acts as a liaison between parents and youth and the school or district to ensure academic progress.

  • Ketchikan High School (Kayhi) provides a room dedicated to RYC students for study skills groups,and works with RYC students to develop and implement Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for those students needing extra support in the mainstream education setting. 
MORE ABOUT SCHOOL TRACKING & SUPPORT:
A 'school note' is carried daily by each youth and is completed by each teacher. The school note reflects: school behavior, current grades, homework and identifies any problem areas. A daily study hall of one to three hours is provided.

Study habits are taught, practiced, and learned in study skills group. The youth are reinforced for all positive praise and use of the motivation system.
