Happy National School Psychology Week to our OPS School Psychologist - Es Harris! During the week of November 6-10, schools throughout the United States celebrate this week to highlight the important work school psychologists do to help all students thrive. This year's theme is "Let's Grow Together," inspired by the importance of both personal and shared strengths in our growth as individuals and school communities in every season of life. Thank you, Es, for all you do for the students and staff at Oglesby Schools! We appreciate you so much!
