National School Psychology Week celebrates the contributions of school psychologists and the important role they play in schools and communities helping children thrive.
This year's theme, “Finding Your Path”, recognizes the ways that school psychologists take an active role in helping everyone in their communities determine paths to learning, growth, and overall well-being that meet their unique needs. We are deeply grateful for all the ways both big and small that Ms. Byrd and Mrs Seig help our students thrive in school, at home, and in life!
