Updates from Westlake School Counselor, Laura Gradiska ("Ms. G")

​What a crazy start to the year! As we navigate Distance Learning, I wanted to introduce myself as Westlake's new school counselor. I am Laura Gradiska (Ms. G for short) and I am so excited to work with all of the students, families and staff to provide social-emotional support. My mission is to promote positive wellbeing and school-connection to all students. I hope to meet you soon!
