School psychologists are mental health specialists who have advanced graduate degrees with training in both psychology and education. Our preparation focuses on child development, the psychology of learning and behavior, curriculum and instruction, and skills in mental health and educational interventions. School psychologists are licensed by the North Carolina Department of Instruction . Most school psychologists in CMS have 2-3 schools that they serve. Mrs. Berrier-Tate serves both Reedy Creek Elementary and Joseph W. Grier Academy.
Our Mission
School psychologists want to help students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. We collaborate with educators, parents, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments for all students. We work to strengthen connections between home and school. ( from CMS School Psychological Website)
