National School Psychology Week, which runs from Nov. 11 to Nov. 15, celebrates the contributions of school psychologists and the role they play in schools and communities. It is also an annual opportunity to recognize school psychologists' work to help children thrive in school, at home and in life.

Fifth-graders at Alcott Elementary presented what they learned about early Native Groups, including the Maya, Inca, Aztec, Mississippian and Olmec, to family members on Friday. 

Starting Monday, schools throughout the district are rolling out various activities and events to build community and foster a sense of belonging in honor of Start with Hello Week.

The newest members at several Westerville City Schools elementaries have spent the past week starting to build relationships in their school communities.
