BCE School Counselor
Hello my BCE family! My name is Mrs. Weeks, I am the full time counselor at BCE. I am so excited to walk along side your babies and watch them learn and grow into the successful leaders I know they can be! As the counselor it is my job to advocate for my students, parents, teachers and staff members and erase any barriers in our way. I will be holding small groups, brief one on one check ins, and class lessons. If you or your child needs extra support there is a link to the side called CareSolace. It is a self-serving confidential tool that will pair you with a therapist in your area. Also, if you want to know what your children are learning about in class, click on the link "what we are doing in class". Looking forward to a great year! GO BUCKS!
