The CAPS Program is an alternative program designed to temporarily serve students that are unable to attend school during the regular school hours due to a variety of circumstances. The program is intended to be an intermittent placement until students are able to attend the traditional high school setting.

Students are expected to attend school Monday through Thursday from 3:00-5:00 PM. If a student misses school he/she must bring a note from a parent or guardian. The note must be brought to the CAPS Instructor the day the student returns to class, and will be considered an excused absence only if it falls under one of the categories defined in the student handbook. If a student misses 10 days per semester, he/she will be referred for the Becca Bill. Students are expected to remain in class from 3:00-5:00. If a student arrives late or leaves early, he/she will be considered absent for the day.

All BEHS policies and procedures regarding the students conduct and behavior also apply the same as those enrolled in the CAPS program.

• Upon arriving on campus, students are to report directly to the computer lab.
• All students may enter and leave the room only during assigned break times.
• Log on to the Pathways Program immediately upon entering the room (students are not to access any other programs in the computer- violation of this policy will result in immediate removal from the program, and the student will forfeit tuition fees)
• Print progress report daily before ending your session
• Follow proper procedures for logging on and off the computer. Do not attempt to close out the Plato program and do not turn off the computer. If you have problems with the program, get assistance from the staff.
• Use all equipment with care (any repair costs due to abuse will be directly charged to the student)

If a student is disruptive to the learning environment, he/she will be asked to leave. If a student is asked to leave more than two times, he/she will be dropped from the program and will forfeit the tuition fees.

There is nofood and drink allowed by the computers or even in the room.

In the event of computer system failure, students may work on the supplementary work for their subjects.

Students are responsible for their own transportation. Students are not allowed the use the classroom telephone, rides home or to the destination needs have to be rearranged prior of class time.
