Shabazz Connections
October/November 2020
Letter to Shabazz Students and Parents
I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I'm the school counselor here at Shabazz and joined the Shabazz community last January. I haven't had the opportunity to meet many of you face to face due to the virtual nature of school, but want you all to know I'm here to support you!
I work with all students around choosing courses, planning for graduation and post-high school adventures. I also work with students last name R-Z to support any social emotional needs, and to support to students and families around school and teen issues.
This is the first of the monthly newsletters that will come out with specific information around college, career and community readiness. Please feel free to reach out if you need anything at all!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
