The choice of theme was to investigate the performance of the psychologist in public schools in the municipality of Foz do Iguaçu. The theoretical framework of this research was structured in two topics, namely: sexuality within the school environment and the importance of the psychologist within the school. The method used in the research was bibliographic data collection and quali-quantitative research, and data collection was carried out through an online form on the Google Forms platform, prepared by the researchers, containing a total of 14 questions. The participants were 26 educators between 20 and 60 years of age who had been working for at least one year in Kindergarten and Elementary School classrooms in municipal schools. It was found that most educators are in favor of the psychologist in the school environment. It was also found that educators find it difficult to address the issue of sexuality, and most respondents stated that they had not received any guidance or training on the subject, which needs to be addressed in a cohesive manner, in all social aspects.
