The psychological services department includes both certificated and classified staff. Psychologists are assigned to school sites and their services include but are not limited to, consultation with staff and parents, evaluation and short-term counseling. Psychologists are members of their school site’s Student Success Team (SST) and participate in SST meetings, conduct classroom observations and provide recommendations to classroom teachers and other staff as appropriate. Recommendations may address academic or behavioral concerns to improve each student’s success at school.
