About Me

Hello Falcons! My name is Mrs. Toni Uba and I'm your school counselor. This is my 6th year at Garden Valley Elementary, and I am so very pleased 

to be a part of such a wonderful school community.Garden Valley School 

fosters a love of learning, and I am no exception. 

I am a graduate from Cal State University, Northridge and California Lutheran University with degrees and credentials in Deaf Studies, School Psychology and School Counseling. In fact, I love learning so much, that I chose a career that allows me to literally, go to school - forever! 

It is this love of learning that I hope to encourage in all our students. I work to foster in our students the desire to discover things that they enjoy learning about and coming to school for - interests and motivations that can lead to future academic aspirations and, yes, even careers.   

This year, I will encourage student success by sharing age-appropriate, classroom lessons designed to develop social-emotional competence and self-regulation. I’ll also be providing small-group counseling lessons that focus on Executive Functioning. These are lessons that help students to organize their thoughts, gather appropriate materials, and use time well in order to complete and turn-in their classroom assignments consistently and in a timely manner.

In my down-time, I enjoy walking my two adorable dogs, traveling - anywhere, watching TV sports - football, baseball, NASCAR…, and reading suspense novels.

If you’d like to contact me, you can find me in Room 22C, when I’m not working with the students, or connect with me via email or phone at tonius.louie-uba@trusd.net or 916-566-3460 x. 21362.
