Student Assistance Program
SAP is an early intervention program for students who are having difficulty
being successful in school. SAP involves the coordinated efforts of
professionals (a building administrator, two or more classroom teachers, a
school counselor, a social worker, a school nurse, and others) who comprise
the Student Assistance Core Team. The core team is trained to recognize
students in need, to determine the nature of the problem, and refer students
to assistance.
Areas of Concern may include:
*Substance Abuse
*Eating Disorders
*Physical and Sexual Abuse
*Depression
*School Phobia
*Suicide Prevention
*Truancy
*Abusive Relationship
(verbal or physical)
Dallas School District "SAP" Teams Invite You...
To join them with referrals, cooperation, and support so that we can
effectively help every student requiring assistance.
The Dallas School District "SAP" Teams have committed
themselves to help
identify students who are having problems that are affecting their learning.
Each child is a special individual who is a product of his or her home,
school, and community environments; therefore, for student assistance to be
effective, a team effort is required. It is necessary that all significant
adults in a child�s life work together to guide and support him or her
through this milestone of life called adolescence. The desired outcome is
for the student and the family to receive the support needed to resolve
problems.
Student referrals come from students, parents, teachers, counselors, and
administrators. If you have a concern for the physical and/or emotional well-
being of a student, please fill out a SAP referral form. In school, pick up
a SAP referral form in the office or in front of the nurse's office. You may
also print a form from the link above. Please return all completed forms to
the student's school to the attention of the "SAP Team".
