Student Assistance Program (STAR Team) . . .

The Student Assistance Program is a program available to work with students and their families. The team provides assistance and referral in the areas of substance abuse, emotional concerns, eating disorders, loss and other issues which may be a barrier to learning.

The Student Assistance Team members are teachers, nurses, counselors, psychologists, and administrators who have received special training to work with, and serve as a resource for, school staff and students. The program is an intervention program, not a treatment program. Students may be referred to appropriate community resources designed to assist them and their families with areas of concern. Students may be referred to the team by themselves, staff members, parents, or other concerned persons. All information is kept in strictest confidence.
