    Joe Parsons, M.S., School Psychologist
    Now in my 26th year in the Solana Beach School District, I am excited to join the wonderful SSF specialist support team! My education includes an undergraduate study abroad program through Ithaca College in London, England, and undergraduate studies at the University of California, San Diego where I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology.  I earned a master's degree in Counseling and School Psychology at San Diego State University, where I also taught graduate level psychoeducational assessment courses.  I feel honored to work with such an amazing group of educators and parents to help each and every child thrive.  You can reach me at joeparsons@sbsd.net
