About This School
Hadley Farms Alternative Middle school program serves middle school students, grades 6-8, who are not achieving at their potential for a wide variety of reasons, usually including behavior and/or attendance problems. Students are referred through the home school Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) teams and the referral process is facilitated by the referring school's pupil personnel worker (PPW). Prior to referral, the student was served in the home school's Alternative One program for a minimum of one semester. The program provides academic instruction in courses leading to completion of grade level objectives and promotion. In addition, a behavioral/social skills component gives students the skills necessary to return to their home schools and succeed. The behavior management system follows the principles of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) which includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviors.
