Congratulations, United ISD for receiving the 2021 Outstanding Delivery of Psychological Services award presented by the Texas Association of School Psychologists.

United ISD is the second largest District in Region One and the 24th largest in the state of Texas. The district currently employs six Licensed Specialists in School Psychology (LSSPs) to approximately 43,000 total students’ grades K-12.

The LSSPs of United ISD have created a detailed su***de prevention manual that delineates a comprehensive approach to identifying and helping students experiencing suicidal ideation.

The LSSPs have also been influential in the implementation of the SOS Signs of Su***de program currently being utilized across the district. This program provides guidelines and materials for educating school staff, students, and families on su***de.

United ISD is one of just nine school districts in the state of Texas with a su***de prevention program in place. Although the success of this program is due to a continuous collaboration across the entire district, with all stakeholders, the LSSPs have had a significant role in the implementation from its inception. As a result, su***de prevention and mental health awareness are integral conversations occurring across United ISD. For all the work they are doing across the district in the area of mental health, specifically su***de prevention, United ISD has been recognized in the 14th Annual Texas School Business Bragging Rights magazine.
Grand Prairie ISD is currently hiring LSSPs for both this school year and next. Please reach out if you are interested!!!
Any Georgetown area LSSPs?

Camarillo, CA nonprofit Advancing Parenting would like to share a free resource for promoting positive childhood experiences and preventing adverse childhood experiences...parenting norms bumper stickers! Advancing Parenting makes them available at no cost to schools and organizations. There are fifty-two in a set and each sticker communicates a parenting behavior or practice generally recognized as supporting the healthy development of children. Just one will be read thousands of times!

Bumper stickers are a unique and powerful way for community members to share parenting wisdom. At stoplights drivers and passengers point, smile, and nod. Conversations begin and often a phone is used to take a photo of the sticker right at the stoplight. Presumably, they are being shared on social media. It's wonderful to see!

The stickers can be put in holders and placed on counters and tables so folks can select one for their cars. Visit www.advancingparenting.org to request this free resource.

Today, we observe Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Day.

We remember and honor the late Dr. King as a champion for social change, a man who strived for racial equity and equality.

We recognize the continued need to evaluate our practices and to advocate for racial equity and equality.

We highlight the work of NASP and our own state organization in advocating for continued change.

Social justice is both a process and a goal that requires action. School psychologists work to ensure the protection of the educational rights, opportunities, and well-being of all children, especially those whose voices have been muted, identities obscured, or needs ignored. Social justice requires promoting nondiscriminatory practices and the empowerment of families and communities. School psychologists enact social justice through culturally responsive professional practice and advocacy to create schools, communities, and systems that ensure equity and fairness for all children and youth. - (Adopted by the NASP Board of Directors, April 2017

This is a resource to enhance your NASP Exposure Project presentations by showcasing school psychologists in Texas.
