What is a school psychologist?
School psychologists are uniquely qualified members of school teams that support students’ abilities to learn and teachers’ ability to teach. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior, to help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. School psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections among home, school, and the community.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can be contacted at (570) 724-0369 or jrogers@wellsborosd.org.
