E.  Alternative Program Placement

     Alternative Program Placement involves separating a student for a period of one or more days from the general school population.  When a student is assigned an In-School Remediation, he/she should report to the Alternative Program Placement Room prior to the start of homeroom.  Students who are assigned to APP will spend the entire day doing academic work and taking any test or quiz as provided to the supervisor by the classroom teacher.  Students will remain until 3:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday and students will stay until 1:55 p.m. on Fridays. Students who fail to attend APP will receive an additional day.  Seniors will lose senior lounge privilege for the semester after first suspension.

           APP students that ride the South, East or West bus on Mondays and Wednesdays are to sit in the second and third seats in the front of the bus.  They are not allowed to ride in the back of the bus.  In-house students who fail to follow the rules during the trip home will receive an external suspension immediately.  Parents will be informed in any case of suspension.
