LSHS Student Assistance Program
S.A.P Mission Statement:The purpose of the Lake Stevens High School SAP team is to support and enhance student learning and well-being through the areas of prevention, intervention, and support as well as to help provide assistance to students who are showing signs of substance abuse, mental health, academic, attendance, and behavioral problems. What is S.A.P ?SAP is a new program for LSHS that was constituted by the school board and our superintendent, Dr. Burgess, in October of 2005. The SAP team originally was set-up to help students with substance abuse issues but the SAP purpose has grown to include almost any issues that a student faces that could hinder their academic and human growth (depression, anxiety, self-destructive behaviors, harassment issues, history of abuse, chronic difficulties with academics and attendance, etc). Anybody can refer a student if they think there is an issue surrounding that student. A staff member, a parent, a student can self-referral or peer referral another student. The SAP team will anonymously investigate the referral, with the student's knowledge, and attempt to help them. Electronic referrals submitted via the link below will not show the sender's email address, but are instead forwarded as a confidential referral through our server.The program is not set-up as a punitive or discipline program but one to truly help kids with any issue (s) that may be negatively impacting their growth as a person. Who are in the S.A.P Team at Lake Stevens High School?
All the referrals will be sent in anonymously.
