Robyn Frandsen, a dedicated school psychologist, has been with the Davis School District for ten years and is now in her second year at Odyssey Elementary. She enjoys bus duty, which helps her connect with students who often see her as the friendly playground lady rather than the school psychologist.
Robyn works with students individually and in groups, focusing on emotional regulation, goal setting and planning to ensure they are ready to learn. She believes that having a school psychologist in elementary school is crucial for developing social skills and emotional management.
Sharing a classroom with speech-language pathologist Kenna Meyer, Robyn uses visual aids to help students communicate their feelings. Their classroom features a sensory table and pedals to help students release their energy and focus better.
Robyn finds joy in seeing students understand new concepts and hopes they feel loved and empowered to make a positive impact on their lives and others. Her dedication and innovative approach make her a valuable asset to Odyssey Elementary.
