SAP Program
The Upper Perkiomen High School SAP (Student Assistance Program) Team is a student assistance program consisting of school staff and community agency personnel whose mission is to identify and refer at-risk students to appropriate in-school or community services. Difficulties in school may be due to some of the following reasons: behavior problems, health issues including drug and alcohol use and mental health concerns, and attendance. The goal of SAP is to help students “get back on track” educationally through various support programs.
Students can be referred by school staff, parents, peers, or self-referral. A concerned individual may talk to any SAP member including the guidance counselors or send an email to UPHSSAP@upsd.org. Additionally, a Safe2Say report can be made for a more immediate response.
SAP members: Rob Carpenter, Todd Amsler, Jennifer Senavaitis, John Gunning, Kimberly Kelly, Leanne LeGendre, Angela Traub, Tasha Rushatz, Shane Thrush, Todd Nieman, Christa Paul, Megan Smolinski, Regina Lundquist, Katrina Harmon, Colleen Bell, and Sulyn Godsey (Creative Health Services).
