From the counselor’s perspective.
Junior High counseling is an EVER changing job, sometimes from hour to hour. Never Boring!!!
This year.I have enrolled new students from 21 other Arlington schools, charter schools, private schools, other districts and from other states.
I have conferenced with parents, conferenced with students, calmed down anxious parents as well as anxious students, changed schedules, given out supplies, connected families with outside agencies, carried lunch trays, unlocked many lockers, and helped dry some tears.
Whose tears? Don’t ask. Ha!!
Maybe it’s the variety in counseling junior high students that keeps me coming back.
Year 40, here I go!!!!
