November 11-15, 2024 is National School Psychology Week (NSPW).  School psychologists are uniquely qualified members of school teams that support students’ ability to learn and teachers’ ability to teach. School psychologists partner with school teams, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior to help children and youth succeed socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and academically, through the identification of appropriate, evidence-based educational services for all children, youth, and families. This year’s NSPW theme is "Spark Discovery."  We want to recognize the contributions of school psychologists in supporting the academic success of our students.

This proclamation will promote the School Board of Clay County's commitment to creating a safe and positive culture and community by acknowleding the contributions of the School Psychologist team.
