Mrs. Nehring

I am a licensed School Psychologist. I have been working for the Avoca School District since the start of the 2008-2009 school year. Prior to that, I worked in the Department of Psychiatry at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. I have also worked in a variety of school settings, from early childhood classrooms through high school, including an alternative school and a vocational school. Upon moving to Chicago, I worked at the LaGrange Area Department of Special Education in their Early Childhood Program. I also taught a graduate course at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. 

My role this year at Avoca West is to support the school teams to meet the needs of students’ behavior and social emotional functioning. I have been working with the teams to do an in-depth exploration of the Social/Emotional Learning standards. I also support individual students in order to cultivate these skills. 

Through collaboration with staff, parents, and other professionals, I work to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community for all learners.
