Classrooms:
Traditional Suspension Classroom
The suspension classroom, for students who are suspended for no more than 10 days from their home school district, is a short term option to prevent youth from being out of the school environment during a suspension. Youth are required to complete home school class assignments and are responsible for returning the work to the home school upon completion of their suspension.
Virtual Learning Program (VLP)
Students enrolled in Virtual Learning Programs (VLP’s) may attend the Alternative school per court orders, school agreements, and/or program acceptance to ensure school assignments are being completed. Often times these students are not disciplined enough to accept the academic and independent challenges of internet based learning from the home environment. This classroom provides for a structured setting that offers support for students involved with online learning.
LOCATION
The Alternative School is located at the Belmont Harrison Vocational School (Career Center). Students are expected to dress according to school policy and are responsible for their own lunch. Students may bring a sack lunch or may purchase lunch from the cafeteria. Students ride buses from home school districts to the Alternative School.
