The Alpha Center is an Alternative Learning Program within the Pitt County Schools Exceptional Children's Department. Placement in the Alpha Center Program is based on an IEP Team referral from the student's home school. For more information about Alternative Learning Programs, please contact your student's home school and ask to speak or leave a message for the Special Education School-level Contact.

Great resource for Students and Parents!

Trillium’s SafeSchoolsHealthyKidsNC.org is an online portal that provides web-based access to evidence-based practice (EBP) models, resources, and materials. This resource is provided through a grant received from the Center for Safer Schools and the Department of Public Instruction. Trillium used feedback from our 26 county region to help determine what information is needed both for staff training and to share with parents. The resources are free and  provide users with tools to quickly and reliably utilize evidence-based responses to issues. Programs can be completed by teachers, staff, or parents privately, at any time of the day, and at a person’s own pace. Tip sheets and handouts can be downloaded securely by students and parents.

Topics included on the portal:

• Anger Management for Children and Youth
• Supporting Children who have been Bullied
• Recognizing Warning Signs of Children in Distress
• Signs of Suicide
• Supporting Kids Students Who Have Been Bullied
