HELLO! My name is Kristen Wood and I have been an elementary counselor for 4 years. I have worked in the Issaquah School District in the Before and After School Care (BASC) program - Sockeye Club included. I have also worked at Challenger Elementary and up in the Ferndale School District as a school counselor.
As a School Counselor, my primary responsibility is to promote the academic, career, and social/emotional development of all students. Many times I get puzzled looks when I say I provide career development at the elementary level, but it is never too early for children to be exposed to the opportunities their futures will hold! I love working with elementary students because of the genuine curiosity students have in their learning and the world around them, as well as the opportunity for early intervention support that can have a lifetime positive impact on a child. I look forward to offering support to the Sunset students, staff, families, and community. I will be meeting with students individually and in small groups, conducting classroom counseling lessons, meeting with parents, collaborating with teachers and staff, and consulting with community organizations to benefit and meet the needs of all Sunset Elementary School students. Each month I will be in the classroom teaching a lesson on various social and emotional skills to help students become happy productive adults. Below are the topics that I will address in September:
When I am not at school, I love spending time with my family and my cat. I enjoy water sports in the summer, a nice reading session in the winter, and traveling. I am looking forward to having a great year with this wonderful community! I am so excited to work with your children and get to know you throughout the school year! If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or (425) 837-5760 at any time. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
