HS STUDENT COUNCIL

NEW STATE OF OHIO ATTENDANCE LAW
The Twin Valley Community Local School District is actively implementing these changes to ensure full legal compliance, while maintaining a commitment to fairness, transparency, and partnership with our TVS families.
Under the new law, medical absences are no longer counted separately from other excused absences.
What this means is that ALL time missed from school—whether excused, medical, or unexcused—now counts toward a student’s total hours missed for the school year.
The new attendance requirements have taken effect for the 2026–2027 school year.
The Twin Valley Community Local School District is committed to implementing these changes in a fair, transparent, and student-centered way. Our goal is to ensure families are informed, supported, and actively involved in the process—long before any legal or punitive measures are considered. This proactive approach allows us to keep the focus where it belongs: on helping every student attend, engage, and succeed.
Families with questions about attendance, absences, or intervention plans are encouraged to contact your school secretary.

REMINDERS
8th PERIOD
Eighth Period is an integral part of the Tuesday and Thursday school days. It is an opportunity for students to receive academic support or a quiet place for students to study. The program is open to all high school students and will run through the remainder of the school year.
Time: 2:35-3:25pm
Location: HS students will report to the designated HS monitor for the day; this will be announced in the mornings.
Students who ride the bus, may ride the elementary bus home as long as the student receives a bus pass from the 8th Period monitor.
SCHOOL FEES
School fees have been added to each student's account for this year. Parents/guardians should be able to view the fees on Progressbook. If you have questions regarding your student's fees, please contact the office.
Reminders:
- Credit card payment is accepted via PaySchools. This is the same company that is used to for the cafeteria. There is a small convenience fee to pay online.
- If you prefer to pay with cash or check (made out to TVS), you can either send it with your student or mail your payment directly to the school, Twin Valley South, Attn: HS Office, 100 Education Drive, West Alexandria, OH 45381.
- Please write the name of your student in the memo section of the check.
- Partial payments are accepted.
- Payment plans are available.
STUDENT PARKING
Students need to obtain a parking permit to park their vehicles in the school lot. Parking permits allow school administration/resource officer to easily identify which vehicles are supposed to be in the TVS parking lot. This is a critical safety measure that helps to prevent unauthorized vehicles from loitering in the lot and can be used to quickly identify a car in case of an emergency or an incident in the parking area. The "parking permit" form can be picked up in the MS/HS office. The form needs to be filled out and signed by both parent/guardian and the student.
FROM THE CAFETERIA
Reminder that breakfast and lunch are available daily to all students for FREE. This is provided through a USDA-sponsored program.
