The Student Assistance Program helps students overcome barriers to learning so that they achieve, remain in school, and advance. S.A.P. is an intervention program, not a treatment program that integrates a process of information gathering, and referral through a core team for appropriate services.
If you have any questions or need to make a SAP referral, please contact the school’s guidance counselor or Student Support Services at 814.824.4126 or via email at [email protected]
Building Level Team
There are building level teams at each of our schools. The teams consist of building administrators, representative from special education, guidance counselor, mental health specialist and other members as needed for each student. The goal of the team is to discuss any student who is referred to the team for difficulty in school academically, socially, or behaviorally. The team works to develop interventions that may be effective in supporting the student in the school environment.
Outpatient Clinic
Wattsburg Area School District has partnered with Sarah A. Reed Children's Center to provide outpatient mental health therapy within the schools, during school hours. We recognize that it may be challenging for parents to schedule mental health therapy appointments in Erie and/or Corry after school hours. As a district we are committed to the overall health and well-being of our students, the partnership with Sarah Reed provides our families with another mental health option that can occur within the normal school day. The mental health therapist is in the district 4 to 5 days per week, at different buildings, and the therapist works with the schools to find the best time to meet with the students in order to have the least educational disruption in the day.
