Dear parents,

One of our goals, here at ALC, is to help your child make the behavioral changes necessary to enable them to return to his/her home campus and be successful both academically and behaviorally.  Please help us by keeping in touch with your child’s A.P. and teachers.  When the school and home work together, all parties will benefit. 

Our purpose is to assist students in achieving academic and behavioral goals by providing them information, guidance, services, and outside resources when needed.  While the events and circumstances that precede enrollment in our school are sometimes unpleasant and/or stressful, it is hoped that student experiences in our program will be beneficial.  At ALC our desire is to help the student maximize their success. 

The Alief Learning Center offers a variety of programs in an attempt to meet needs of the students in the district.  We want to help our students focus their energy on learning.  To accomplish this goal, we need the support of the parents in upholding the rules so that the primary focus can be learning.  We want your child to be successful and we are looking forward to working with them.

Restorative Circles

Restorative circles build and repair relationships and foster a healthy community environment. Circles are implemented to repair harm, get to the root of issues and serve as a proactive way of meeting students needs.

Types of Circles implemented at ALC:

• Re-entry Circles

• Social Skills Circles

• Conflict Resolution Circles
