Embedded Files
The first step in getting assistance for a student is to complete the Teacher/Staff Referral Form. After the initial referral is received, personalized observation checklists are sent to the student's current teachers. It is important to note that parents and guardians will have the ability access to these checklists.
Students can also refer other students using the Student SAP Referral Form. These referrals are confidential and anonymous.
