School Psych WeekSchool Psychologists Nationwide Say “Together We Shine” for National School Psychology Week

The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has designated November 7–11, 2022 to be National School Psychology Week (NSPW), with the theme “Together We Shine.” Schools around the country are being asked to highlight the role of school psychologists and school-based services in promoting student success. School Psychologists partner with families, 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 academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. They are also important members of school safety and crisis teams.

This year’s NSPW theme, “Together We Shine,” honors the hope we feel after several challenging years and emphasizes the power of our collective efforts to overcome difficulties to ensure that all our students can thrive in school, at home, and in life. While we all have our own individual strengths and attributes, we shine even brighter when we all bring our ideas and actions together to uplift the community. Through collaboration, we can empower students and adults to find purpose and possibility, all while fostering resilience. This is especially important for those who are or who feel marginalized, unrecognized, or at risk.

Middletown Area School District has four psychologists who serve our students and families. We are so grateful for their dedication and service to the District.
