Alternative Learning Programs, Supports and Services (ALPSS) strives to provide supportive and nurturing environments that help students to grow, thrive, overcome challenges, and rise above adversity to succeed. 

ALPSS assists at-promise students to improve their academic competencies and enable them to meet HIDOE adopted state standards and graduation requirements. Within the ALPSS setting, innovative instructional strategies are applied to re-engage and engage students in learning. Students are assisted in developing appropriate behaviors and social-emotional competencies. ALPSS provides transitional support services as at-promise students move from school to alternative programs, reenter school successfully, graduate from high school, and prepare for positive post-secondary outcomes. Parent engagement is an essential part of the program and is consistent with the goal of partnering with the family/parents as a member of the ALPSS team. 

ALPSS supports students who are experiencing difficulty in their traditional learning environment (classrooms or schools) and may be better served in at the school level Empowerment Opportunity (EO) or complex area/district level Alternative Learning Opportunity (ALO). 

Currently, fields in the ALPSS tool are not used in state reporting.  

Users may create as many ALPSS records for a student as needed. However, record dates may NOT overlap. In order to create a new record, users must end date the current record.
