BALLSTON SPA — The New York Association of School Psychologists (NYASP) is a statewide organization that represents the profession of School Psychology. Their mission is to serve children, their families and school community by promoting psychological well-being, excellence in education and sensitivity to diversity through best practices in school psychology. 

Earlier this month, the Ballston Spa Central School District, which is located in NYASP’s Chapter F, which encompasses the counties of Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Saratoga, Warren and Washington had their school psychologist recognized. Chelsea Cangeleri of the Ballston Spa Middle School recently received the Chapter School Psychologist of the Year Award.  Ms. Cangeleri has led initiatives related to mindfulness, trauma response, data and behavior and crisis intervention in the school since 2006. Ms. Cangeleri also contributes to the field of school psychology by supervising interns and school psychology practicing students. “These, and many more accomplishments, are all above and beyond her daily responsibilities as a valued school psychologist,” said the Ballston Spa district in a statement. 

The Chapter School Psychologist of the Year Award is presented by local chapters to individuals who spend the majority of their time (75%) providing direct services to children and their families. Each local winner becomes the chapter nominee for the NYASP Frank Plumeau School Practitioner of the Year Award. Additional information is online at www.nyasp.org.
