SCHOOLS & DISTRICTS
Sky Island partners with schools, districts, charter schools, and educational organizations to supplement and support the work your team is already doing. Support can be a single project, a specialized need, temporary coverage, or an ongoing arrangement when that's the right fit.
You don't need a crisis or a staffing emergency to work with us and you don't need to know exactly which service you need before reaching out.
A range of contracted school psychology support for students in PreK through 12th grade, shaped around what your school or district actually needs.
Comprehensive assessment to support educational teams in understanding student strengths, needs, eligibility considerations, and educational planning.
Culturally and linguistically responsive assessment conducted directly in Spanish or English.
Additional evaluation capacity for schools and districts facing increased demand, staffing changes, temporary vacancies, or accumulated assessments.
Contracted school psychology support tailored to a particular school, district, charter school, or educational organization.
Collaborative problem solving with teachers, special education teams, administrators, related service professionals, and families.
Consultation on multi-tiered systems of support and response to intervention within the contracted role and scope.
Participation in evaluation, eligibility, and multidisciplinary team processes where appropriate within the contracted role and scope of school psychology practice.
School-based counseling and social-emotional support where appropriate to the school contract and scope of practice.
Professional development, workshops, and training for educational staff in areas of school psychology practice.
Scope, timelines, and service arrangements are established directly with each school or district after an introductory conversation. Availability varies.
A CORE SPECIALTY
Bilingual evaluation is one of the hardest needs for a school team to cover, and one of the easiest to get wrong. Sky Island provides assessment directly in Spanish or English, with attention to language history, cultural context, and the difference between a language difference and a disability, plus meetings and feedback with families in the language they prefer.

GETTING STARTED
Simple and consultative. We start by understanding your needs, service structure comes after that.
Contact Sky Island and briefly describe your school or district's current needs. You don't need to have it fully scoped.
We arrange an introductory conversation to discuss priorities, timelines, service needs, and anticipated scope.
Sky Island determines what services may be appropriate and provides relevant information about services, availability, service structure, and contracting.
If the partnership looks like a good fit, we and your school or district decide on appropriate next steps together.
Evaluations integrate student strengths, functional needs, developmental context, and multiple sources of data to support clear, educationally relevant recommendations.
Practice grounded in professional standards and current school psychology evidence.
Objective assessment that documents areas of impairment and educational need accurately, describes differences respectfully, and ties both to supports that improve access and participation. Conclusions follow the data; they are not predetermined.
Standardized measures, observation, record review, work samples, and input from staff and family, weighed together rather than in isolation.
Assessment and consultation that account for language, culture, and context.
Work done alongside your existing team, not around it.
Findings written so that teachers, teams, and families can actually use them.
Sky Island provides school psychology and educational evaluation services consistent with applicable federal and Arizona requirements, professional and ethical standards, and the requirements of the contracted role and educational setting.
RECORDS & DOCUMENTATION
Every engagement ends with your school receiving a full set of records for the work performed, organized and ready for your files, so your team has what it needs to meet applicable record retention requirements.
We also know that files sometimes get accidentally deleted, drives fail, and staff turn over. Sky Island securely retains a copy of all records for three years, so if something goes missing on your end, a backup still exists.
Your full records package is provided as part of the work, without a separate records request.
Records are retained securely for three years and can be re-issued to the authorized school contact.
Storage and release follow FERPA, applicable Arizona requirements, and the terms of your contract.
Records handling, delivery format, and retention are confirmed in your service agreement.
Tell us a little about your school or district and we'll set up an introductory conversation. No packet to fill out, no lengthy onboarding, just a direct conversation about what would help.
