We are so fortunate to have such a compassionate School Psychologist, Ms. Olga Perez. She loves the opportunity to make a positive, lasting impact on students' lives. She finds fulfillment in supporting students' emotional and social development, helping them overcome challenges, and promoting mental wellness. She loves to analyze data and collaborate with teachers regularly.

Ms. Perez is just weeks away from having her second baby girl. She is looking forward to her older daughter transitioning into the role of "big sister" and fostering the skill set she has instilled in her to be a kind hearted, compassionate, caring individual.

Whether it be at work or at home, moments when you see a student or your child gain confidence, improve their behavior, or achieve academic success because of your dedication is rewarding.

Thank you for being a Viking!
