Family Outreach Services- Connie Schulz is the district Family Outreach Specialist. Click on the link to find out about the services and resources the program has to offer. There are also links to websites that help parents talk to their children about death and underage drinking, and information about other parenting issues.

 
Student Assistance Program (SAP) -The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a statewide program designed to help school personnel identify issues, including alcohol, drugs, mental health, and behavioral concerns, which pose a barrier to a student's learning and school success. The SAP team of specially-trained school personnel uses a systematic process to intervene and refer students to appropriate in-school and/or community services. Parent involvement is an important part of the process. SAP is an intervention program, NOT a treatment program.
