Kiski Area Support Education & Referral
K.A.S.P.E.R is the The Student Assistance Team at the high school. It is comprised of trained, professional staff members that identify high-risk students that are experiencing difficulty due to problems such as alcohol or drug use, depression, eating/sleeping disorders, or other mental health issues. Students are referred to the team by teachers, parents/guardians, students, and staff. The SAP Team gathers information to assess the nature and extent of the concern. Together with parents/guardian they develop a positive plan of intervention, action, and support which may include: meeting with parents/guardians and/or the student, making referrals to existing school programs or community resources such as social services agencies, treatment settings, or educational support groups, and/or monitoring the student’s progress to assess the need for ongoing or additional action. The total process upholds the student's confidentially.
