Friday, October 28: "Red Hot Against Drugs". Students wore red t-shirts and received red hots for participating.
During their science rotation in Coach Kelly's room, students chose a drug to research. They had to draw a life size body, show the parts of the body the drugs affect, and what affects it has on those body parts. Winners of the contest were: Lori Ann Hurt, Isaiah Frazier and Trey Sonwineski.

 Mr. Leroy Johnson of Holmes County, MS, recently presented a program to students at NASTUC regarding Dropout Prevention. Johnson was one of the co-founders of Southern Echo in 1989. Southern Echo is a leadership development, education and training organization working to develop effective leadership in the African-American communities in rural Mississippi through comprehensive training and technical assistance programs. He is also a 1996 recipient of the prestigious Charles Bannerman Fellowship. He has conducted a wide variety of training programs in Mississippi, across the United States, and in international forums on youth leadership and community organizing.

The alternative school program shall be operated as part of and in accordance with the
regulations applicable to the regular school program and with all requirements of the law and
guidelines of the State Department of Education. There are rules specific to NASTUC that go
beyond those that apply to students in the regular program. Students placed in the alternative
school program are subject to the policies and rules of conduct and discipline as well as any other
rules of conduct and discipline deemed appropriate by the superintendent and/or director. During
the placement time, students are not allowed on any school campus or at any school
function. (Possible exception: district school bus transportation.)
Our Mission
The mission of the alternative education program is to promote in the students the academic performance, behavior modification, functional skills, career education, character education, and the employability skills in a learning environment that offers high expectations and high support.

Students,
Acceptable behavior is expected of you all the time. The student and parent
must understand that rules must be followed without exception. This behavioral
school is designed to give students a second chance to stay in school and
receive Carnegie units or prepare for the General Equivalency Diploma.
At all times a teaching situation conducive to learning must be maintained.
Good citizenship is based on the respect and consideration of the rights
of others. Students are expected to conduct themselves in such a way that
the rights and privileges of others are not violated. Do not hesitate to
call me at 538-4100.
Sincerely,
Minerva Graham |
