Guidance

Welcome to the MASD Jr/Sr High School Guidance Website.

The Montrose Area School District’s School Counseling Program is dedicated to promoting and enhancing the learning experience of all students. This mission is accomplished through a focus on three interconnected domains of student development: academic, career, and social-emotional growth. The program ensures that every student has equitable access to opportunities that foster a range of essential learning competencies. These competencies encompass the specific knowledge, attitudes, and skills that form the foundation of becoming lifelong learners and active citizens.

    The Pennsylvania Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a team process used to mobilize school resources to remove barriers to learning or success. SAP is designed to identify academic, social, attendance, substance use, mental health, and other concerns which pose a barrier to student success. The primary goal of the Student Assistance Program is to help students overcome these barriers so that they may achieve, advance, and remain in school.

    The core of the Student Assistance Program is a professionally trained team, including school staff and liaisons from community drug and alcohol, mental health, or behavioral health agencies. SAP team members are trained to review incoming referrals, gather data, and make recommendations to support students in overcoming barriers to learning. These recommendations may include supports and services offered within the school or community. SAP team members do not diagnose, treat, or refer to treatment for behavioral health concerns. The engagement of students and families throughout the SAP process is essential. The SAP team will assist parents in accessing any recommended services and supports.

  • The Student Evaluation Team (SET) is a collaborative problem-solving team that works to address academic and social-emotional concerns that may interfere with a student’s success in the school setting. The primary role of the SET team is to review data, share observations, and develop targeted supports for students. 

    Students should be referred to the Student Evaluation Team (SET) when academic or social-emotional concerns persist despite the use of general classroom supports and interventions.

    Importantly, the SET process occurs before any referral for a psychoeducational evaluation, ensuring that students have access to appropriate interventions and resources prior to considering formal assessment by the School Psychologist.
