Glenwood
High School
exists to be an exemplary
Illinois
high school that fits the needs of all students.
The mission of
Glenwood
High School
’s Student Assistance Program is to identify at risk students and to
intervene or come between whatever is impeding the student’s success and
the student. The U. S.
Department of Education defines at risk students as students who are not
experiencing success in school. At
risk students tend not to participate in school activities and have a
minimal identification with the school.
They have disciplinary and truancy problems that lead to school
credit problems. They exhibit
impulsive behaviors, and their peer relationships are problematic.
Family problems, drug addiction, pregnancies and other problems
prevent them from participating successfully in school. (
U.S.
Department of Education, ERIC Digest)
The core team of
Glenwood
High School’s SAP is composed of classroom teachers, administrators, counselors,
school nurse, resource officer and the SAP Coordinator.
SAP team members attend trainings that focus on reducing barriers
to learning that affect student’s social and academic performance,
appropriate identification and referral procedures, and awareness of
intervention strategies. SAP
team members meet on a weekly basis to discuss referrals and action plans.
Any school
community member (parents, students, staff) may refer a GHS student to the
attention of any SAP team member. The
