STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. The Shippensburg High School Student Assistance Team is designed to provide a means for early identification and intervention for students who are experiencing substance abuse problems and/or who are experiencing emotional problems. A team of specially trained teachers, counselors, administrators, and a nurse is present and active to provide assistance through an intervention model to students with problems of an immediate and non-academic nature. Community resource persons such as drug/alcohol and mental health professionals also participate on the team. Referrals are accepted in confidence from parents, students, teachers, and student self-referrals. Referral boxes are located in the library, guidance office, and the main office. Parent notification may be necessary if treatment is sought. Students are required to check the message board located next to the athletic office at least a couple of times during the school day. If a parent calls in with a message or drops off materials, the student’s name will be written on the message board and the student will be required to go to the appropriate office. Students will not be called out of class except in an extreme emergency. The District contracts for school buses to cover daily bus routes. In addition, buses are used for District-approved field trips, special programs, and athletic events. A complete copy of the Transportation Policy (#810) and answers to some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) can be found on the District's website, by clicking on the “Transportation” tab, or by contacting the Transportation Office at 530-2707. At the beginning of each school year, post cards with the student’s busing information are mailed to the address on file. Contact the Transportation Office if your busing needs change throughout the year. Changes in bus stops must be approved by the Transportation Office. Students are not permitted to transfer to other stops and/or routes without prior approval. These transfers will only be granted in cases of extreme emergency and if there are seats available on the bus. For the safe and efficient operation of the District’s transportation system, the following rules must be observed:
