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.)
Welcome to the New Albany, South Tippah, Union County Behavioral Management Center (NASTUC).
At NASTUC, our mission is to provide a positive and productive experience for every student. Through collaboration between families, staff, and students, we aim to support the success of all who attend.
NASTUC is designed to offer students a second chance to remain in school and continue earning academic credit. Our team of highly qualified teachers is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each individual. With small class sizes, clear expectations for behavior, and a supportive environment, we help students address and overcome academic and behavioral challenges.
In addition to focusing on academic achievement and social development, NASTUC partners with Lifecore Health Group to offer professional counseling services. Arrangements for counseling services are made directly between Lifecore and the student’s parents. Our ultimate goal is to help students successfully transition back to their home schools and apply the skills they’ve gained to their everyday lives.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. We look forward to working together for the success of your student.
Sincerely,
Luke Tentoni
Director of Alternative Education
