Ms. Erin
Hello everyone! This is my 3rd school year at Ivy Elementary and my 5th year as a school counselor. I grew up in Maryland and went to college at the University of Kentucky where I earned my bachelors in Psychology. I received my Masters degree in School Counseling at Campbellsville University and was a school counselor in Kentucky before I moved to Charlottesville 3 years ago with my dog, Lenny. Outside of work I love to paint, read, hike, paddleboard and try new restaurants. My favorite part of being a school counselor is the long lasting connections I make with students! Please contact me at evalett@k12albemarle.org or by phone at (434) 293-9304 extension 29023

Hi, I’m Ms. Kovach. I have been a school counselor at Ivy ES since 2016, but have been a counselor in Virginia since 2005. I live in Earlysville with my husband, two children and two dogs. Some of my favorite things to do are read, cook and swim. My summer was spent with my family at my favorite spot, the beach! I am very excited about the 2024 - 2025 school year. Together, let’s make it awesome 🙂 Please contact me at akovach@k12albemarle.org or by phone at (434) 293-9304 extension 29015
