There is nothing in this world that a random hug from a child at 8:40am won’t cure. Rough day today but thinking about that little cherub and how excited she was to see me this morning is why I will show up again tomorrow (and the next day.. and the next..) 💛

(This is a reminder to all you school psychs that you mean a lot to someone in your building(s), even on days when you might have trouble believing that’s true)

Happy National School Psychology Week to all of the fantastic interns out there! You’re all amazing and I’m glad we have the opportunity to Grow, Engage, Advocate, and Rise together (virtually)! 💗 #NSPW #SPAW

I should have known better than to fill in the testing date before checking the attendance system...

Tell me you’re a school psychologist without telling me you’re a school psychologist, I’ll start: Heading home for the weekend with all of my bags!
A tragic story in 2 parts, yesterday vs. today:
I’ve come to accept that any time I need to meet with a student, they’ll be absent... all 4 of them... all week long
