National School Psychology Awareness Week:
Helping Staff and Families Support Students to Thrive in School and Beyond As parents and educators, we share the goal to help our children thrive in school, at home, and in life. This includes ensuring their safety and well-being, helping them build positive relationships, providing opportunities to gain new knowledge and skills, and encouraging them to take on challenges and persevere when things get tough. Working together, we can promote their competence, achievement, and resiliency. To highlight these goals, WCPSS will be celebrating National School Psychology Awareness Week, November 10–14, 2014. The theme is “Strive. Grow. Thrive!” School psychologists are members of the school team that support students’ ability to learn and teachers’ ability to teach.

We provide direct support and interventions to students, such as learning assessments, academic and behavioral interventions, counseling, and social skills training. We also consult with teachers, families, and other educators to improve support strategies and school-wide practices and policies. Helping families and schools implement activities and programs that help children develop resilience, skills, and hopefulness is one of the main goals of School Psychology Awareness Week. There are many ways parents can help children take on new challenges; learn new skills; and feel protected, respected, and valued. As parents, you can:
