School Psychologist in Belden, MS

Step into a pivotal role supporting students' educational journeys through focused psychological evaluations during the upcoming school year.

Running from August 4th, 2026, through June 30th, 2027, this as-needed position ensures you can maintain your professional practice while contributing meaningful assessments to a dedicated district team.

You’ll work closely with a psychometrist who conducts most assessments, allowing you to focus on essential eligibility evaluations, especially for Autism and EMD. Expect to handle a minimum of 4–5 cases per year, with at least five students already identified for re-evaluations. The district offers well-equipped testing spaces across three school buildings and employs the SPED Track IEP system—training for which will be provided.

Key Qualifications and Experience:

• Valid MS Teaching Certificate required before beginning evaluations
• Background as a School Psychologist, preferably in school settings
• Comfort with eligibility determinations for Autism and EMD populations

• Write comprehensive reports after each assessment (on-site testing; report writing may be completed from home)
• Attend and contribute to IEP meetings, with a preference for in-person but virtual attendance possible
• Collaborate with district psychometrist and special education teams

Compensation for this role is based on experience, ranging from $200 to $250 for each evaluation completed.

If you’re ready to make an impact while enjoying a hybrid work arrangement and the flexibility of a per-evaluation schedule, apply today to play a key role in supporting the district’s students and teams through expert psychological assessment.
