This week we celebrate Mrs. Shannon McCarthy, our incredible school psychologist who supports students, staff, and families here at Manzanita and Canyon View Elementary. Mrs. McCarthy helps create safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Her caring approach, expertise, and dedication make such a positive difference in our school community. Thank you, Mrs. McCarthy, for all you do for our students every day!

During the week of November 3-7, the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) and schools across the United States celebrate the 2025 National School Psychology Week (NSPW). 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, "Finding Your Path," reflects the ways that school psychologists help students, families, and school communities set and achieve their goals.
