School Psychological Services
School psychologists are members of school teams that support students’ ability to learn and teachers’ ability to teach (adapted from the National Association of School Psychologists). As part of the Student Services team, they provide both direct and indirect services to students, some of which include:
● Meeting individually with students, to help improve their executive functioning skills.
● Providing students with social emotional supports and crisis intervention, as and when needed.
● Using data based decision making to identify at-risk students and match their needs to supports available within RBHS
● Facilitating small groups to address social emotional concerns, such as anxiety, motivation, and emotional regulation.
● Consultation with teachers to help problem solve students with academic, behavioral and/or social emotional concerns.
