E-SAP
What is E-SAP?
Our Elementary Student Assistance Program (E-SAP) helps Jordan Bank students overcome barriers to learning. It is designed as an intervention program to help direct and access school and community resources. Our program integrates a process of information gathering and referral through a core team of school community personnel with parent consent and support.
Signs and Symptoms which can pose barriers to Learning:
- Change in behavior or mood (easily upset, sad, angry, secretive, and fighting)
- Change in attitude towards school and learning
- Change in friends or appearance
- Physical problems such as fatigue, weight gain/loss, change in sleep patterns, headaches
- Defiance of rules at home or school
- Expressing hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness
- Personal stressors such as parent separation, parent divorce, or parent job loss
How does E-SAP Work?
- E-SAP is conducted on a voluntary basis
- Students may be referred by school administrators, teachers and staff, parents, and family.
- The E-SAP Team reviews all referrals and information begins to be collected confidentially to assess needs.
- Parents are contacted. E-SAP is strictly voluntary, and the team will only proceed with parent consent.
- If parental consent is given, the team will begin to work with family to develop an action plan to help the student.
- The team will monitor the progress and make changes if needed to help the student.
What is the parent’s role?
Parent involvement strengthens the decision-making process about any behavior that is impacting the education, safety, or welfare of their child. Active parent support of the E-SAP program promotes student success. When parents are involved, informed, and supportive, students are more likely to benefit from E-SAP recommendations.
What is the E-SAP Policy regarding confidentiality?
Confidentiality between all parties involved in the E-SAP process shall be respected and maintained in the best interest of the student and in accordance with all laws protecting the privacy rights of parents and students.
