Meet Amy Barron, the extraordinary School Psychologist at Spencer Elementary who's elevating student success at MPS! Colleague Pam Ingersoll nominated Amy for her contributions to the Spencer School community.
"Amy is one of the most gifted school psychologists I have ever met," shares Pam. "Her counseling sessions with students are always thoughtful; filled with visuals and tailored precisely to what each student needs."
Always available for staff, parents, and outside providers, Amy's dedication to our school community shines through in everything she does. According to Pam, Amy's skill at writing integrated evaluations is "second to none," making her an invaluable resource for many at Spencer Elementary.
We're fortunate to have dedicated professionals like Amy in Middletown Public Schools—going above and beyond for our students every single day!
