My First Week At Work




I wish I had a little more to tell here. I was hired as a K-12 counselor, my office is located in the high school. I am looking forward to being pretty busy there and it’s fun that Jason and I will be in the same building! My office is just down the hall from his classroom.

The school is beautiful. It is all newly remodeled inside. The whole district is on one campus- with an elementary, middle, & high school. I will have 285 students K-12.
My office is wonderful – I’ll hopefully post some pictures.

This week I organized my office, sent home a letter of introduction to families, worked out all of the technical kinks, and made contacts at all of the testing organizations – I even scheduled the ASVAB for this September! As the counselor, I am the acting test coordinator for the district, which means I will be giving the ASVAB, SAT, ACT, as well as some Alaska specific tests. It was kind of a lonely first week because the teachers don’t start until next week and students the week after. I’m excited to meet all of them and begin working with my new team.
