Student Assistance Program (SAP)

What is the Student Assistance Program?

The Reading Muhlenberg Career and Technology Center utilizes a Student Assistance Program (SAP) Team to help support our students. The SAP team is comprised of specially trained staff members, plus a liaison from the Caron Foundation, and is highly confidential. The purpose of the SAP team is to be a supportive service for students, helping connect them to resources that may help them overcome barriers to learning. Students are referred to the SAP team for a variety of different observable behaviors, which include (but are not limited to): poor attendance, decrease in academic performance, mental health or emotional needs, drug or alcohol support, changes in their behavior, or discipline concerns. Students can be referred by any source, including self-referral, peers, parents, teachers, school staff members, coaches, and community members. One of the most important tasks of a student assistance team is building a partnership with families, focusing on the student’s success as their common goal. Participation in the Student Assistance process is voluntary.

Both the Reading School District and Muhlenberg School District also offer SAP teams. Please keep in mind that your child may be referred to only one SAP team, or both SAP teams (sending high school and RMCTC).

Some of the services offered through SAP include:
