SAP Article: What Does Your Data Say?
It is important to start the new year by looking back at last year’s SAP data! SAP Teams and liaisons should review SAP data from the last year (or two) to get a better picture of how to make the new year more effective.
Sometimes, it can be hard to know how to get started on accessing and reviewing your data. PNSAS has developed a new Team Maintenance page on the PNSAS website to help teams improve their effectiveness. There are several resources on this page to help you access and review your data.
The PDE4092 Report Walkthrough demonstrates step by step how to access SAP data reports. Once you have downloaded your SAP report, you can use the SAP Data Template with Graphs document and insert your data into the SAP Data Template. This will provide you with bar graphs and pie charts to help you be able to easily interpret the data.
You may want to take time to meet with your team to review your data and celebrate all of your accomplishments and discuss any changes you may want to make. Download the SAP Team Maintenance Customizable Slide Deck and insert your team’s data in the appropriate slides. Insert the data in the appropriate slides and use this to discuss this to share the information with your SAP Team. This slide deck is customizable to fit the needs of your team.
Let’s not forget about SAP liaison data. It is helpful for liaisons to share data with their SAP teams from the previous year’s screening/assessments. The SLAR (SAP Liaison Annual Report) System Access Instructions Walkthrough document is available on the Liaisons page of the SAP website. Discuss any trends or concerns that will be helpful for the upcoming school year.
As always, feel free to reach out to your PNSAS Regional Coordinator for any assistance accessing or reviewing your data.

Connecting Families to Behavioral Health Services for School Entities Without SAP Liaison Services.
PNSAS has developed a new document that may be useful to SAP teams (including cyber charter school SAP teams) seeking services for a student experiencing a potential mental health or drug and alcohol concern when the team does not have access to a SAP liaison. This information may also be used to support a student and/or family that are seeking services on their own.
