🧠💙 Happy National School Psychology Week!💙🧠
This year’s theme is "Inspire Connection," highlighting the vital role school psychologists play in building meaningful relationships that support students, strengthen collaboration, and transform school communities.
By connecting data, educators, families, and mental health resources, our school psychologists ensure every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to be inspired, determined, and unstoppable. 🌟

To all who have served, thank you.
Veterans Day is a quiet reminder of the incredible sacrifices made by the men and women in our armed forces, as well as the families who support them. The dedication, strength, and heart it takes to serve doesn't just protect our freedoms, it shapes our communities every day.
To the veterans among our staff, families, and community: we see you, we appreciate you, and we are deeply grateful for your service.

Did you know? Truancy and chronic absence are actually two different things!
Truancy focuses specifically on unexcused absences-a student is considered truant after 5 unexcused absences or 5 tardies in a single semester.
Chronic Absence looks at the whole picture-missing 10% or more of the school year for any reason, including excused absences and unexcused absences!
