[Counselors] Counselor Office

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

My office is not in the high school building either but in an administrative area with special services and federal programs. I really think it would be beneficial to be in the high school building for easy access by the students.

Thank you,
Gail Collins

My office opens to hallway and I keep it open. I want students to feel free
to come talk to me! They know if the door is closed I'm gone, I'm with
someone or I'm doing testing paperwork that takes a lot of concentration
(lol).

Subject: [Counselors] Counselor Office


I am a first year counselor and I am debating about moving my office next year.  I am currently located in the Administration office. (Principal, Assistant Principal, and 2 secretaries)  I am the only Counselor at our high school.  I have the option to move my office away from the Admin Office toward the classroom hallways, my door would lead directly into the hallways.  Right now students can only access my office through the administration office.  I have thought about this all year but I have many pros and cons and can't decide if it would be beneficial or not.  I would like to hear some of the pros and cons of being in the Administration Office compared to not being in the Office. The counselors office used to be in the hallway office many years ago.  I don't know why it was moved into the Admin Office. Thanks for any advice.
