SAP Program
The goal of SAP is to work with you and offer supports for your child. SAP helps students overcome barriers so that they may achieve, advance, remain in school, and if there are barriers are beyond the scope of the school, the SAP team can provide information so families may access community resources. The team is comprised of SAP trained teachers, administrators, professional school counselors, and mental health consultants. The SAP program is mandated in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania by Section 1547 of the School Code and 22 Pa. Code 12.42. If you would like more information about the program, please refer to the website: www.education.pa.gov
Please email or call Mrs. Rowe if interested in referring a student to SAP.
