The Maryland Student Assistance Program (MSAP) is a program used in schools that provides an early intervention for possible “at-risk” students who are exhibiting emotional or behavioral concerns which could be related to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, mental health difficulties, or bullying. Parents/guardians who have concerns about the possibility of any of these issues are encouraged to contact the Southern Middle School guidance office to make a referral for their child to receive additional support.
