WHAT is the CARE Team?
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a systematic response to students' problems in our school. Many students are troubled by problems which not only interfere with their educational performance, but with their physical, social, and emotional development as well. When students are troubled, so are teachers, counselors, and school staff. Help is needed for those students having difficulties and for staff members dealing with those students.
At Conemaugh Township Middle/High School, our SAP Team is called the CARE Team.
