As a service to students, families, and staff, the Urbandale Community School District participates in a program that allows confidential counseling services that are of no cost to the participant. The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a resource that students, parents and educators can count on for guidance and support. SAP assistance focuses on problem assessment, short-term counseling and referral to appropriate resources.
Through the SAP, individuals and families are helped to identify options to deal with a wide range of concerns, which would include:
a) school-related issues,
b) family or relationship issues,
c) emotional or behavioral issues,
d) alcohol and other drug use, and
e) other issues that interfere with daily living, happiness, and success.
If you have any questions, and would like to speak to a counselor,
you can call the SAP 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 515-244-6090.
If students are interested in tutoring, here are some options:
1) Teachers may be available for extra help before or after school. Contact teachers for more details.
2) Learning Centers are available during the school day to help students who are struggling.
3) Teachers can draft students for intervention, and students can request to be drafted for help during intervention time.
4) Our district office may provide a list of tutors who are approved by UCSD.
