New Officers Step Up to Lead MSPA
Our new officers have easily stepped into their new roles. MSPA held a summer meeting at Northeastern University in Boston and our new officers took their places. The meeting was chaired by Susanne Toomajian, CAES, NCSP, supported by the Immediate Past President, Barbara Miller, Ph.D., NCSP. Wendy Price, CAGS, NCSP is serving as the President Elect and Zoe Perry-Wood, CAGS, NCSP is our new Vice-President. Barbara Ball will remain in her role as Treasurer and Colleen Christie, CAGS will remain as Secretary of MSPA. Members can access the meeting notes via the Members Only section of the website.
Attention Members!
The ‘Members Only’ section of the website has been launched. As you submit your 2008-2009 membership dues, the process of accessing the website will begin. Once the Membership Chair has processed your renewed or new membership, it will be forwarded to us and we will create an account for you. Within a week, we will send you an email with your password so that you can access the “Member’s Only’ website. The ‘Member’s Only’ website is a private website for members of the Massachusetts School Psychologists Association and can only be accessed with a personal password. Please let us know how you like the new sections and be sure to send any news or interesting resources that you come across. Also please let us know of topics or interests that you would like discussed or other information that you are willing to share with colleagues. We are very interested in hearing from members.

It is time to renew your yearly membership in MSPA. This is an incredibly important year to be a member of the Massachusetts School Psychologists Association. Members will be able to access the new ‘Members Only’ section of the website. Members will have a dramatically reduced fee when taking the online course, which starts in September. We most certainly will be gathering as a group in some way when NASP comes to Boston and we anticipate a post-NASP event. This is going to be an exciting year for school psychologists- join now!

New Website / New Online Course
MSPA is proud to introduce our newly redesigned website. We expect that this new design will be easier to navigate and that many options will be visible at once.
In addition to the new design, we are featuring a section that will be accessible only to members as an additional service to all who join MSPA. Within this private section members will find information that is relevant and specific to school psychology and the actions of school psychologists. The Members section will open in a few weeks, and members will receive an email in mid-July with instructions as to how to log in.
The MSPA online course will open registration in September although the course can be accessed at any time after September 1st. The course, ‘The Ethical Practitioner’ is open to members and to school psychology association members in other states who have a formal relationship with our association. School psychologists who are not members and who wish to participate will need to pay the nonmember fee. The faculty for this course is comprised of members of most of the school psychology training schools in Massachusetts.
Please explore every nook and cranny of the new website. Many new things have been added to the website and you will find many useful and interesting additions.
