How Does My Child Become Involved in the SAP Program?

Anyone can refer a child to the SAP team.  Some students are referred by teachers or other school personnel.  A friend or family member can also let the SAP team know that they are worried about someone.  Even the child can go directly to the SAP team to ask for help.  Schools then gather information to determine how a student is doing in his/her classes.  However, the SAP team will not proceed unless a parent/guardian gives permission. .

 

 

Once permission is received, the SAP team will work with you to develop a plan of action to help your child achieve success in school.  Participation in the program is voluntary.

What If Someone Has Referred My Child to SAP?

A SAP team member will contact you if your child is referred to the program.  Before a SAP team member talks to your child, you will be asked to sign a permission form.  The SAP case manager will be assigned to work with you and your child throughout the process.  As a parent, your knowledge and thoughts about your child will be instrumental in developing a plan of action.  If you need more information before making a decision about SAP, please feel free to talk to a SAP team member.
