Nelson County Public Schools

This week is National School Psychologist Week! Please join me in extending a THANK YOU to our School Psychologist, Chrissy Teora, for all that she does for students, teachers, and families in Nelson County. Chrissy spends a great deal of time administering assessments, analyzing student performance data, and guiding teams in determining how to best deliver services to our students. Additionally, she plays an integral role in identifying the Specially Designed Instruction that our students require. She furthermore guides teams in ensuring we meet timelines and supports us in ensuring all necessary components are complete. She remains calm and un-frazzled in tough situations and she is a true asset to our division. Regardless of the number of items on her to-do list, she readily stops what she is doing to meet the needs of her colleagues and students. Please join us in acknowledging Chrissy's contributions to NCPS. #OneNelson #SchoolPsychologistWeek

Thank You, Veterans!
