Back to School-Round 2!

A long time has passed since my last post as I was off enjoying my summer back home with friends and family! However, I am already back in the swing of things as my school enters week 3 of the new school year. 

There have been some new updates and some changes with my position at my school this year and I am continuously reminding myself that flexibility is key! Some of the new changes that have gone on include: 

- New administrators at all four of our campuses 
- A High School Counselor was not hired for our HS campus, therefore I am now sharing the role of Personal/Social School Counselor at the High School with the current Middle School Counselor. I am there once every six days and also am first response in the case of a crisis and the Middle School Counselor is there every Tuesday and Thursday. (Are you confused? Yes, me too) 
- New Counselor at our 1-9 Campus 
- 50% newly hired staff at ES campus 
- New Office at the ES campus and shared office at the HS

Even with all of the new changes, I am excited to have some familiarity this year and to begin my second year as a School Counselor. Let's hope I can find balance with the new changes and can make this year a success.
