Manage PSSAS Information for Students

Use the Supports tab of the Student Profile to manage Programs and Services for Secondary At-Risk Students (PSSAS) information for students. The PSSAS worksheet in eCSSS is where schools can collect  information about the student's eligibility in the PSSAS program.

PSSAS is previously known as Comprehensive School Alienation Program (CSAP). CSAP worksheets are no longer used by the DOE, but if a student has previous CSAP worksheets on file, they can be accessed through the student's Action Plan (AP).  For background on the program itself, see the Hawaii DOE PSSAS Web site.

1. Search for a student
