    {swirl 1} School Age Parenting Program {swirls 4}
 
The School-Age Parenting Program (SAPP) provides services and support for teen-age parents so they can stay in school, develop marketable skills through the Career and Technical Program, and become the best parent possible.  A high school student may stay at their home school or transfer to Mary Grimes Education Center.  A middle school student will be served at their home school.  Whatever the decision, C-FBISD provides all pregnant and school-age parents the following services:
 
  • Group and individual counseling
  • Information and assistance regarding educational and career choices
  • Referrals for obtaining social services and medical care
  • Home instruction during pregnancy if a doctor requires a period of confinement
  • Home and on-campus instruction for up to 6 weeks after delivery
    When a student receives home instruction, the instructor will contact the student's teachers, pick up all the student's school assignments and take them to the student. The instructor will work with the student for approximately four hours per week, usually divided into two meetings. The instructor will also proctor any necessary exams for the student. Week 1 is at the student’s home, week 2 – 6 are at the CLC building.
  • Assistance in securing help with child care if needed
    The student will be required to apply for CCS, a federal program that pays for all or most of the daycare costs for school-age parents.
  • Parenting classes at some schools
  • When possible, bus transportation for the student and baby to and from home, daycare, and school

 

Before receiving SAPP services, students must have their pregnancy verified at a medical clinic, and bring the “Verification of Pregnancy” form to their school counselor or nurse.
