Academic Policies

Academic Integrity: 

Snake River Opportunities High School  takes academic integrity seriously.  SROHS does not tolerate academic dishonesty. In our environment, plagiarism is of particular concern. Plagiarism uses information from sources without proper citations. Because students are tasked with showing what they know and understand to achieve mastery, it is essential that students learn the skill of integrating knowledge into their artifacts of learning. It is essential that students do not misrepresent materials as their own. Students will be coached in the proper citation. If a student shows a general disrespect for the community agreements around academic integrity, the student's funding status may be revoked. Check out this Plagiarism One-Pager to understand plagiarism.

Colleges may have specific academic honesty policies which apply to students who are taking college classes. These policies will be followed if an academic honesty violation occurs, which may vary from SROHS policy. 

Student Success Course

Once a student completes the enrollment process, they will be signed up for Student Success class. This class provides an orientation to SROHS and sets them up for success in our school. The course includes four synchronous meetings. Once completed, the student will earn one elective credit.

Revised Transcript Policy:

Once issued, transcripts cannot be revised unless evidence is provided to indicate that the transcript is materially inaccurate. A student with such evidence can petition for a transcript revision. The teacher of the course and school secretary will then review the transcript to determine its accuracy, consulting with the school principal where necessary. The secretary will be responsible for issuing a revised transcript where it is deemed appropriate.

Advanced Opportunities: 

The Fast Forward or Advanced Opportunities program provides every student attending an Idaho  public school an allocation of $4,125 to use toward Advanced Opportunities in grades 7-12. The funds can be used for a variety of offerings: 

Students must maintain “Active” status in all courses while enrolled in the Advanced Opportunities Program and be diploma seeking. To be considered "Active" students must be moving forward in the course and staying on track for completion. To enroll in the Advanced Opportunities Program, students will work with mentors to develop a learning plan. Students and parent(s)/legal guardian(s) must sign and return the Advanced Opportunities participation form annually to complete enrollment in the program. All courses paid for by the Advanced  Opportunities Program must be transcribed on the student’s public high school transcript. If a  student fails to earn credit for a course paid for by Advanced Opportunities, the student must subsequently pay for a “like” course on his/her own before he/she is eligible for further Fast  Forward funding. To take advantage of Advanced Opportunities funding through Snake River Opportunities High School, students must be enrolled in at least one course per term with those credits originating from our school. 

Completion of 8th Grade: 

Students must have completed 8th grade in a public or private school setting OR demonstrate proficiency of 8th grade content through state standardized testing and/or portfolio of completed work. Families of entering freshmen must provide any and all documentation necessary to establish successful fulfillment of this requirement. Acceptable documentation includes a transcript or complete homeschool portfolio. Families of students who are unable to submit an official transcript or portfolio of work as evidence of 8th grade  completion are encouraged to investigate local testing centers in order to take a standardized test that will satisfy the minimum grade level requirement. A student should have met the grade eight (8) mathematics standards before the student will be permitted to enter grade nine (9). If a student has not met the 8th grade math standards before entering 9th grade, remediation may be required. A student will have met the high school content and credit requirement for any required high school course if the course is taught by a properly certified teacher and reaches a set mastery standard for that course. 

Concerns and Suggestions: 

If a student or parent has suggestions that could improve SROHS, he/she should feel free to offer them. Written suggestions may be presented directly to the  teacher or to the school administrator. Additionally SROHS commits to providing open focus groups at least once a quarter.


Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use:

All AI technologies implemented in the educational process must enhance learning outcomes, ensure the safety and privacy of students, promote equitable access, and be used responsibility under the guidance of trained educators. Regular evaluations will ensure these tools align with educational goals and ethical standards.
