Coffee With the Counselors This Week
We are excited to welcome caregivers to meet with us and learn more about how school counselors support students at UES. We will be discussing topics such as an overview of our role in systems of support, how we provide universal Social Emotional instruction and how we use our SEL standards in our work. Our time together will provide an opportunity for caregivers to meet us, ask questions and share information about our School Counseling program. We look forward to connecting with you. Please buzz at the Main Entrance when you arrive and let the Main Office know you are here for Coffee With The Counselors. Once inside, you will need to sign in at the Main Office, where the Counselors will greet you to bring you to their space. We hope to see you there!
