National School Psychologist Week

Springdale Mayor Doug Sprouse read a declaration for National School Psychologist Week Nov. 11 at Springdale Public Schools Administrative Building Annex.

Sprouse noted it's important for families to have access to school psychologist resources and that the stigma of seeking help from a psychologist should be removed.

"Thank you all for your part, because I know it's not always an easy job at all," Sprouse said to the school psychologists prior to reading the city proclamation.

During the week of November 9-13, the National Association of School Psychologists and schools across the United States celebrate the 2026 National School Psychology Week. This week celebrates the contributions of school psychologists and the important role they play in schools and communities.

NSPW is an annual opportunity to recognize school psychologists' work to help children thrive in school, at home, and in life. This year's theme, "Inspire Connection," highlights how school psychologists build meaningful relationships that support students, strengthen collaboration, and transform school communities. Join us and explore how each person can celebrate the work of school psychologists and learn how school psychologists make a difference every day.

"We are not just testers, although we do a lot of testing," said Jason Johnson, a district psychology specialist. "This this year's theme, I feel, suits us better than some in the past because it does bring a highlight to all of the different aspects of our job."
