As an ACA student what will I have access to at Reynolds?
Free Tutoring
For any Reynolds Classes you are involved in during your Junior and Senior year students will have access to Reynolds Tutoring Services. By requesting a tutor students can engage in free one-on-one or small group tutoring to gain support in their Reynolds Courses. Through Reynolds Math Central students can also receive free walk-in tutoring with no appointment or still schedule an appointment for tutoring. This is a great benefit that helps negate the cost of paying for a tutor and also allows the student to gain tutoring from someone who has already taken their course.
Library Access
ACA students will also have access to the Reynolds campus libraries which provide many other benefits to students. In the library students may use Reynolds computers when HCPS computers are broken or over summer breaks. They may use Reynolds printing services when they may not have access to school services. The libraries also can provide a quiet place to study, or even study rooms that can be rented for studying alone or in a group. Students can also check out college level books and E-Books from the libraries if their high school library or public library doesn’t have them.
Database Access
With this library access also bring access to library databases of journals, scholarly articles, and many other academic publications. This resource will be especially beneficial during Junior and Senior year when students will be doing research projects and papers. The library also provides resources on their website and in person for how to accurately conduct and cite research, which will truly prepare ACA students for college and beyond.
Student Discounts
Students will be given an official Reynolds e-mail and Reynolds student ID for their Junior and Senior years. The rules and guidelines of the discounts may vary, but using these resources students may qualify for college student rewards or discounts. A few businesses (though there are many more) that provide some of these discounts include, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Spotify, ASOS, J. Crew, Barnes and Noble, Goodwill, Subway, Chick-Fil-A, and Jiffy Lube.
Other Reynolds Courses
Because ACA students are enrolled as Reynolds students, they’re also eligible to enroll in other classes Reynolds provides. The stipulations to this would be that classes during Henrico County school hours will not be eligible for enrollment, so classes would have to be in the evenings or during the summer. Also, students must have taken any pre-requisite classes required for that course in order to take it. Finally, the cost of these courses will not be included in the main tuition for ACA and families must pay the full cost of these classes themselves. However, extra Reynolds courses still serve as an opportunity for students to expand their learning in areas of interest, gain more credits to transfer to college, and take courses not provided at their school.
Honor Societies
As Reynolds students, ACA peers will be eligible to be inducted into Reynolds Honor Societies. Many ACA students have been invited to join the Reynolds Honor Society Phi Theta Kappa. This allows students to be recognized for their scholarship and leadership. Honor Societies can also be impressive accolades to include on resumes and college applications. Through this, students can also be eligible for scholarships through the honor society.
Student Life
Reynolds has many student life opportunities open to its community. ACA students are also welcome to this community. Throughout the year Reynolds will have an array of events, club meetings, field trips, and service projects. Students in the program are welcome to any of these opportunities as long as it doesn’t conflict with school hours or other school obligations. This provides students with opportunities to be involved beyond their high school and explore their interests even further.
