ALLPS, an integral part of Fayetteville Public Schools, offers educational programs and services designed to support the development of students whose educational needs are not met by traditional programs. ALLPS programs accommodate the many different learning styles of students and utilize a variety of methods and materials. Our staff work together to design curriculum to meet the needs of the individual relative to personal, social, emotional, behavioral, essential learning as well as career and talent development. Our staff also carefully considers and develops the appropriate provisions for meeting individual student needs.
Course Offerings
The ALLPS program offers all of the courses required for graduation from FHS, including qualification for Smart Core. In addition, ALLPS students have access to all the programs, electives, and activities offered at the main FHS campus.
Referral Process
Students who request placement in the ALLPS Center must undergo an interview process. Referrals can be made by the student, parent, counselor, teacher, administrator, or other school constituents acting in the best interest of the student.
Placement Process
Student placement in the ALLPS Center will be determined by an Alternative Education Placement Team, which may include a school counselor, the ALLPS Principal or his/her designee, a parent/guardian, and a regular classroom teacher. Students/parents may contact their existing counselor or the ALLPS Center directly to initiate the referral process. In order to be considered for placement, a student must exhibit at least two qualifying characteristics, which include but are not limited to: disruptive behavior, school dropout risk, personal or family problems, recurring absenteeism, a history of poor performance on standardized tests, abuse (physical, mental, sexual), homelessness, inadequate emotional support, mental/physical health problems, pregnancy, parenting teen, frequent relocation of residency, or other issues affecting academic performance.
Expectations
Students accepted into the ALLPS Center will be placed as space becomes available. Students may be placed in the ALLPS Center full or part-time depending on the student’s individual needs. This program also addresses the needs of students who are not performing well in school and are at risk of dropping out of the conventional high school program. Regular school attendance is expected to maintain enrollment at the ALLPS Center. The ALLPS Center provides opportunities for students to learn and practice positive behaviors so that they may return to their schools with a new sense of personal pride and confidence. In addition to the programs mentioned above, the ALLPS Center also seeks to improve personal health habits and to promote a life free of drugs and violence.
Programs
A myriad of programs are offered to help students to achieve graduation success by way of flexible scheduling with night school, school to work programs, and credit recovery courses. Courses are available for completion by paper and online. All courses comply with the Arkansas state frameworks. Materials are self-paced and can be started at any time during the semester. Credits are approved by a counselor or administrator and awarded when a student has completed assigned modules/units and passed all required assessments. Courses recovered in the Guided Study classes meet NCAA eligibility requirements.
