Tavarius Martin, an 11th-grade student at Richmond Success Academy, read a proclamation asking Richmond Public Schools to recognize November 2025 as National School Psychology Week.
The proclamation highlighted the week’s theme, “finding your path,” and said school psychologists “help students, families, and school communities set and achieve their goals” by providing counseling, intervention and support to remove barriers to learning. Martin said the professionals “ensure that every student feels welcome, heard, loved, and supported.”
The statement framed school psychologists as embodying Richmond Public Schools’ values of equity, empathy and excellence and encouraged “all schools and community members to join this celebration.” The proclamation urged schools to honor the role of school psychologists in connecting home and school and advancing student well-being.
