Broward Association of School Psychologists
School Psychology Awareness Week
November 14-18, 2011
Dear Colleagues,
This year's theme, "Every link matters. Make a connection." helps our students and schools focus on creating positive connections within the school community, their academics, and their lives. The NASP website provides a program involving a series of resources and activities that school psychologists can use to reach out to school staff, students, and parents to help them feel connected, supported, and ready to achieve their individual goals. Please take a moment to review these resources to see what you can use in your schools to help promote those positive connections.
