The Student Assistance Program brings together school, community,
family and the youth in a working partnership. We offer assistance to
students currently experiencing problems or those at risk for problems.
The
SAP is designed to help students succeed in the school setting and
break down barriers to learning, allowing students to successfully
complete their education. Typical issues of concern for students are
personal and/or family alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, truancy,
family change, eating disorders, and pregnancy/parenting, and mental
health issues.

Students
experiencing problems, (or who are at risk for problems), require
special assistance to make optimal use of their educational
opportunities. In the Brockport School District a student assistance
team exists in each building. These teams work closely with students,
staff, parents, and administrators. Building teams consist of teachers,
nurses, psychologists, administrators, support staff and counselors.
The
Student Assistance Programs provides confidential services based on the
educational premise that students who receive help in dealing with
pressing personal concerns, will be able to focus their remaining
energies more effectively on the important task of developing
academically, socially, and emotionally.
