Student Assistance Team at Sedgwick Middle School

Mission Statement: The mission of our Student Assistance (S.A.T.) is to provide our students with a high level of support to help them make healthy and appropriate choices for academic and personal success. Our S.A.T. coordinates and supports existing efforts and brings new resources to give focused attention to our students in need. Our goal is to work closely with parents, teachers, and community agencies to assure that all of our students reach full potential.

Steps to Success:

If you as a parent have concerns about your child, you may contact guidance to begin this process on your own.

Remember: The more involved you are with your child, the more likely he or she is to succeed in school and life!
