The Youth Education and Support Services program, or YESS, is Seneca Valley School District's Student Assistance Program. Student Assistance is the Commonwealth's vehicle to identify barriers to a student's learning and provide programs that enhance a student's personal development.
The goal of YESS is two-fold. First, YESS identifies students who are in need of supportive services and facilitates early intervention and referral when appropriate. Second, YESS has a prevention component which promotes positive lifestyles through education, leadership programs, and alternative activities.
The YESS Core Team facilitates each building's program. Each YESS Core Team consists of a coordinator, teachers, school nurse, counselors, administrators, and liaisons from community mental health. The Core Team members can be contacted at their respective buildings.
