Student Assistance Program (SAP)
STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SAP)
The Owen J. Roberts High School maintains an active Student Assistance Program which is available to all students and is designed to complement the existing educational program.
The purpose of the Student Assistance Program (RAP) is to identify students exhibiting any behavior that poses a barrier to his or her academic and social development. The goal is to help the student and his or her family identify problems and develop strategies to deal with these issues.
The Owen J. Roberts School district recognizes that many factors may impact a student’s ability to learn. By accurately identifying students experiencing difficulties (including but not limited to substance abuse, emotional concerns, or other life stresses), we can assist them in realizing their full potential. The Owen J. Roberts Student Assistance Program does not diagnose or treat students but gathers information and makes referral for assessment where necessary.
Our Owen J. Roberts Student Assistance Team (RAP) is composed of trained administrators, counselors, and teachers who accept referrals from parents, teachers, staff, and students. The team then gathers data, plans interventions, and provides support to students. Intervention options available in the district include: individual counseling with student and/or family, support groups, mentoring, referral for assessment of drug and alcohol needs. The Owen J. Roberts Student Assistance Program recognizes the importance of working collaboratively with parents in order to find solutions to problems. Parents are an integral part of the data collection and planning process and are encouraged to contact the RAP Office with any concerns.
If you have concerns about a student, a friend, have questions, or feel that someone you know would benefit from one of the support groups we offer, please feel free to contact the Owen J. Roberts Student Assistance Office Secretary at 610-469-5869 and/or Vicki Morgan, Student Assistance Program Coordinator and Counselor, at 610-469-5166 or by email vmorgan@ojrsd.net.
