GUIDANCE
Naïké Lahens and Ana Noelsaint | Guidance Counselors
Dear Students and Parents,
At Union School, we are committed to supporting your children’s success—both academically and socially. Our goal is to provide guidance, resources, and a compassionate space where students can develop the skills they need to thrive.
Throughout the school year, we work closely with students in various ways. Through our School Support Team (SST) and the Second Step – Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program, we deliver classroom lessons focused on essential life skills such as academic success, emotional well-being, and building meaningful relationships. These lessons often include home activities to encourage family involvement in the learning process.
We also host informational sessions for parents and students, covering topics that impact our community, including college counseling, mental health, and technology use.
We recognize that living in Haiti presents unique challenges, and we are here to support families as they navigate these difficult times. Together, we will work to ensure our students feel empowered, resilient, and ready to overcome obstacles.
If you have any concerns, need additional resources, or would like to discuss your child’s well-being, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
Strength in Unity – Turning Challenges into Triumphs.
We look forward to a successful and rewarding school year ahead!
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) at Union School
At Union School, we believe in fostering not only academic excellence but also emotional and social development. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) helps students understand and manage their emotions, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. This essential part of our curriculum is taught through the Second Step program, a comprehensive platform designed to enhance students' social skills and emotional well-being.
In Semester 1, our elementary students (Grades K-5) focus on key topics such as being respectful learners, practicing empathy and respect, developing assertiveness, and understanding bullying. In Semester 2, students explore identifying others' feelings, understanding different perspectives, and child protection.
By teaching SEL, we equip our students with the tools they need to thrive both in school and beyond, creating a supportive and respectful learning environment for all.
