  3. Increasing knowledge of child development and parenting skills
  4. Improving decision-making regarding healthy choices
  5. Preventing subsequent teen pregnancies
  6. Preventing child abuse and neglect, including that of the teen mother

RUSD has two registered nurses (RN) for the SAPAR program. Each RNs has an extensive background in prenatal and postpartum care, labor and delivery, newborn/infant care and teaching parenting skills. These nurses follow the students throughout their enrollment in SAPAR from entry to exit no matter where the student is in the District.
