How Do Students Enter and Exit the Program at South Providence?
Students enter South Providence through a reassignment process facilitated by the Student Support Office. Once students have been approved for reassignment to South Providence, the South Providence staff will schedule an orientation meeting. During this meeting, students and families or guardians will learn about the safety, support, and resources provided by our school. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to set some goals to work toward during their time at South Providence.
South Providence School believes that all students can be successful when they are provided appropriate, accessible academics as well as behavioral instruction and support. We feel that students must be taught appropriate behaviors that demonstrate the characteristics of our school motto RISE: Respect, Integrity, Safety and Excellence. Students who have the ability to make positive choices will be successful in all aspects of home and community life and can successfully transition back to a traditional educational environment.
To measure these changes in behavior and determine a student’s readiness to exit our program, South Providence School has designed a school wide Level System. It is a program that helps students identify inappropriate behaviors and replace them with appropriate ones, as well as encourages scholarly behavior of completing academic interventions and maintaining good attendance. All students will have to be passing 3 out of their 4 classes to be eligible to move to Level 3 and 4.
Parents may have access to their child’s electronic point sheet by contacting the counselor and requesting to have the point sheet shared through a gmail account.
