Student Assistance Program (SAP)
Goal is to improve the social, emotional, physical, and academic well-being of all students.
Address student problems related to alcohol, tobacco, & other drug use; social changes; mental health/behavior changes; academic changes; and other at-risk issues.
The SAP team identifies students who may need help, notifies the parent of the free school service, obtains written parental consent, and then offers specific school services, and/or refers students to community services.
Teachers, parents, or students who have concerns about students can also refer that student to SAP via the Guidance Counselor.
