STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM A Student Assistance Program is designed to 1) identify at risk students who are experiencing barriers to learning, 2) intervene and these students to appropriate community services. It is an intervention, not a treatment program. The Student Assistance Program utilizes a systematic process by which school personnel determine when students are having problems and refer them for help. The heart of the program is a Student Assistance Core Team, which consists of a group of school personnel who are specially trained to work with these students. For more information, please contact Mrs. Kathryn Stefanowicz, School Nurse, or Mrs. Stephanie Hoover, School Counselor.
