WAHS Student Assistance Program

How does it work?

Any student can refer themselves, a friend or a classmate to SAP. Teachers and other school staff who are concerned about students can also make referrals.

Referrals can be made by going directly to someone on the SAP Team, speaking to someone in Guidance, or by completing our online referral form.

What happens if I am referred to the SAP Team?

Remember, you were referred because someone in your life cares about you and wants you to be successful - both in school and in your life.

First, the SAP Team will check in with your teachers to see how you are doing in your classes and other activities. A SAP Team member will be assigned to stay in touch with you and will also contact your parents to provide them with information about the program.

Then, you and the SAP Team will work together to figure out ways to help you deal with the problems you are facing.
