Working...
My name is Tonya Townsend. I’ve been a Nationally Certified School Psychologist for the District since August of 2007. I completed the following college programs through the University of Nebraska at Kearney after being high school alumni of NPPS: Bachelor of Science (Major Criminal Justice with Minor in Psychology), Master of Science in Education (Community Counseling) and Specialist Degree in Education (School Psychology). Prior to being employed at NPPSD, I worked for the Educational Service Unit 10 located in Kearney, Nebraska for five years as a traveling school psychologist.
I’m honored to serve this district and work with children, families and educators. My goal as a professional is to make a positive difference in the life of a child through building relationships with families and other professionals. I’ve received additional training in Autism, Positive Behavior Intervention Supports and classroom interventions/accommodations.
