Application process

Referrals can come from the student, their parents, staff, or administration for various reasons that indicate the current placement is not or will not be successful for the student. After the students' records are reviewed, further assessments and interviews may be necessary. The building principal reviews all information and makes final decisions pertaining to placement. Placement: If placement is accepted, an orientation with student, parent and principal takes place. At this orientation, rules, behavior and expectations of the program are conducted prior to developing a learning plan. The alternative school teacher works with principal, counselors and other professionals to develop a learning plan. Once the plan is developed, it is reviewed with student and parent. Student, parent, teacher, and principal all sign off in agreement of the learning plan. The learning plan will be reviewed within the first 20 days of placement and adjusted as needed. A written copy of the 20-day evaluation is reviewed with the student and parent. Copies are forwarded to the principal. A semester written evaluation is made by the instructor and shared with all parties. Contracts are renewed and modified each semester.
