State certified school psychologists serve students in each school. Using their clinical evaluation skills and specialized knowledge of the learning process and the importance of interpersonal relations, they attempt to ensure that the educational program will help students reach their full potential. Psychologists may observe students in class, perform in-depth psychological evaluations, consult with teachers, or see students and/or parents/guardians, individually or in groups in a confidential setting. A request for psychological services can be made by school personnel, parents/guardians or the student themselves.
