National School Psychologists Week

During School Psychologist Appreciation Week—and every day—we extend our sincere gratitude to the dedicated professionals who serve as a vital part of our educational community. School psychologists play an essential role in supporting the academic achievement, mental health, and overall well-being of students.

Through collaboration, assessment, intervention, and advocacy, they ensure that each student has access to the supports necessary to learn and thrive. Their expertise strengthens our schools, empowers our educators, and helps create safe, inclusive environments where all learners can succeed.

Thank you to our school psychologists for your compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to students and families. Your work truly makes a difference.
