  • A treatment team

  • A discipline team

Who can make Referrals?

Teachers, Counselors, Principals, Parents, Guardians, Relatives, Students, Community Members, Anyone who cares

 

HOW DO YOU MAKE A REFERRAL?

Drop a referral form in the SAP referral box, located in the Guidance Office, or contact a School Counselor (Mr. McCardell or Mrs. Foor).

 

How YOU Can Help

  • Watch for signs.

  • Listen; refrain from judging.

  • Encourage the person to talk to a trusted adult. 

  • Do NOT promise “not to tell.”    

  • Take care of yourself, too.  It is stressful to feel responsible for a friend.
