Purpose: The Student Assistance Program is a confidential support system designed to help students who may be facing barriers to learning, including academic, emotional, and/or social concerns. The Student Assistance Program can help with students showing signs of anxiety, depression, grief, loss, motivation, attendance, and more. The goal is to work in partnership with families to remove barriers and enable students to reach their full potential.
PA Distance Learning offers various intervention groups to students. Centered around the Core 4, small intervention groups focus on topics that help students succeed in school: attendance, organization, self-advocacy, and independent learning.
Starting once a Quarter, Intervention Groups meet for 6-8 weeks, 1-2 times a week during school hours.
If you feel your child may benefit, please complete the Student Intervention Group Request Form to begin the process.
