What is the SAP Process?

  1. A referral can be made by anyone; parent, teacher, school staff, or students can refer themselves.
  2. Parents will need to give signed permission before anyone can work with the student.
  3. Once, permission is given, the team will work to collect information from the parent and school personnel about the student’s strengths and concerns.
  4. Parents will be contacted with services and activities to help the student in school and/or services from a community agency.
  5. The SAP team will continue to work with parents and support the student. This includes communication with the parent and monitoring the student’s progress.
