As students from around Molalla River School District filed into their classrooms on Monday morning, the new students of Molalla Online High School started up computers for orientation.

MRSD’s new online program, coordinated by Dr. Tony Valley, has 10 students enrolled so far, but room to grow.

“We’re starting slow, but we’ll pick up,” Valley said.

Unlike traditional schools where students miss out if they’re not in class, the online program is set up so that students can start at the beginning anytime and work at their own pace, Valley said.

Registration for the new Molalla Online High School is set to open Monday, Aug. 16, along with the other schools in Molalla River School District.

MOHS is a new, Internet-based option for local high school students.

Registration can be done in person or parents can pick up packets at the district office or reception desk, said Dr. Tony Valley, MRSD’s director of human resources and director of ELL programs, who is coordinating the online school. Online registration will eventually be an option, but may not be up and running by Aug. 16.
