Alpha Critical Behavior Standards

All students must have 100 percent mastery of these critical standards before they will be considered to transition back to their base school.  If any of these standards are not mastered, the student is in direct violation of Alpha Academy and Rockdale County Public School policies.  Thus, the student will be referred to law enforcement and will be taken back to tribunal where additional time at Alpha or complete expulsion from RCPS may occur.
