  • Girls Soccer
    • Saige Stewart, Salt Lake Community College
    • Abbie Wiggins, Utah State University Eastern

Celebrating Our Amazing School Psychologists!

This week is National School Psychology Week (NSPW), a week set aside to highlight the important work school psychologists do to help all students thrive.

Our school psychologists are uniquely qualified members of school teams. They support students’ ability to learn and teachers’ ability to teach. School psychologists help children and youth succeed academically, socially and behaviorally, as well as helping to create a positive school environment.

Join Superintendent Godfrey and Jordan School District as we say thank you to our valued school psychologists for the important work they do and the impact they have on young lives each and every day.
