I am looking forward to the first week of school! A few activities planned involving all of our students:
- Building expectations - a review of our expectations in each area of the building (I will be assisting teachers in reviewing behaviors that are Safe, Respectful, and Responsible on the Playground). - Minute Meetings - this is an opportunity for me to meet every student in the building. My goal is to have a quick minute meeting with every student K-5 to introduce myself and explain my role in the building. Week 2 will be the start of core counseling lessons in the classroom. I will give an update of my schedule and what that looks like in my next blog post! Have a great week!

Hello! My name is Jacob Heddinger and I am the new school counselor at Hanawalt Elementary. I am so thrilled to be working for Des Moines Schools, and to be joining the Hanawalt community. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in 2014 with a B.A. in Psychology, and then from Drake University in 2016 with an M.S. in School Counseling. Prior to joining Hanawalt I served Interstate 35 Schools working with both elementary and middle school students. I was born and raised in Des Moines Iowa, so I am thrilled to be serving the students of this city. I currently reside in Des Moines with my wife Crystal, daughter Adelaide, and dog Finley. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family, reading books and watching sports. I am excited to be working with the parents and students of Hanwalt! Feel free to contact me if you need anything!
