School Counselor: Emily Rosen

My name is Emily Rosen and I am the School Counselor at Laurelhurst Elementary. I am excited to be part of the Laurelhurst community!

I can be reached at 206-252-5436 or ejrosen@seattleschools.org. I am often in classrooms, working with students, or in meetings throughout the school day. I check my messages and email regularly and will try to respond in a timely manner.

The role of the school counselor is to partner with students, families and staff in order to provide support and resources to meet the needs of our families.
