Nelson's Nook
2018-2019 School Year
Mallory Nellson
Hello,
My name is Mallory Nelson. I am a School Psychologist working in the High School Guidance Office. I work with students regarding scheduling, counseling, career and future exploration, and special education testing and placement. I am (kind of) new to the district, let me explain. I am a West Central graduate! I also worked in the elementary while I was pursuing my Specialist degree in School Psychology. I am excited to come back to my roots, and to help make a difference within the school and community. I’m looking forward to a great 2018-2019 school year and getting to know all the students! I will try to keep this page as updated with valuable information as I can during the school year.
