The National Association of School Psychologists has an excellent description on their website of what a school psychologist does in a school and how they help the learning community.

"School psychologists are uniquely qualified members of school teams that support students' ability to learn and teachers' ability to teach. They apply expertise in mental health, learning, and behavior, to help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. School psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community."

The Sauk Prairie School District hires school psychologists to work with students in grades preschool to grade 12+ .
