Alternative Suspension Program

Alternative Suspension is an out-of-school intervention program.

The program establishes bonds of trust and creates a support network for students who have been or are at risk of being suspended from school due to problematic behavior while also supporting a consistent and strong academic focus. 

It aims to reduce future suspensions and disciplinary sanctions by offering participants an opportunity to turn their time away from school into a positive experience that encourages personal growth, the development of social skills, and autonomy. 

Students may be referred for any of the following concerns: 

• Absenteeism/lack of participation in classes 
• Apathy and lack of motivation 
• Issues related to substance misuse 
• Disruptive and impulsive behavior 
• Physical, verbal or psychological violence 
• Theft or vandalism 
• Academic struggles or needing an adult to guide them with time management and motivation 
• Needing additional support to help with mental health needs
