The student assistance program is a state mandated program designed to remove barriers to a student education. SAP revolves around a professionally trained team of school employees. Our SAP team works to eliminate barriers by identifying internal and external resources and interventions for our students.

Mission Statement
The Student Assistance Program utilizes a multidisciplinary team and intervention system to remove the educational and behavioral barriers which interfere with student learning and works to enhance the developmental assets of students. This goal is accomplished by providing strategies and support to the school community and parents to improve their ability to help students succeed in school. The team also arranges access to other school and community resources as necessary for effective intervention.
A SAP referral can be made for any student by anyone at anytime. If you believe a student is facing a barrier to education (including academic, social, emotional, behavioral, drug and alcohol, etc.) making a SAP referral may be the best step to getting a student the help that they need. A SAP referral can be made by filling out the form below.
