Counseling Services

The mission of the UAS Counseling Department is to help support the personal, social, emotional, and academic development of our students so that they become productive citizens and lifelong learners.

Curriculum Development

Curriculum Coordinators help facilitate and collaborate with administrators and teachers to create high-quality professional development opportunities for teachers.

During the school year, the coordinators develop UAS curriculum plans and evaluate its textbooks and software programs. Specific content area standards are compared to United States National Standards and International Standards then reviewed and updated accordingly.

Based on teachers’ needs, the coordinators create and help tailor instructional materials, support implementation of new materials in the classroom, and mentor or train educators. They also partner alongside teachers as instructional coaches to increase student achievement.

Academic Software Coordinators 

 

Academic Software Coordinators’ responsibility is to manage the PlusPortals package, which is the official communication tool for the UAS Community.

Our office provides technical software support to students and parents in a variety of methods which may include contact by phone call, e-mail and remote. We attempt to diagnose and resolve issues reported in a timely manner and work simultaneously with the International Software Support team to assure the best educational service is provided.

We are aligned with the school goal that a true education lies in a life-long willingness to learn and adapt in the midst of a constantly changing world. Our team works to continually improve service provided for any challenges that may arise.

Additionally, the food is inspected daily by our registered medical team to ensure student health.

Parents are encouraged to provide healthful lunches and snacks for their children at school, especially if students participate in after-school extra-curricular activities.
