Mrs. Meadows
Hello everyone! This is my first year at Ivy ES. Prior to Ivy, I was a School Teacher for 6 years and a Licensed Professional Counselor. I grew up in Long Island, New York and went to college for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees at Lynchburg College. My husband, dog Bailey and I moved to Charlottesville this past spring. Outside of work I love to bake, read, hike, and spend time with my family. I am so excited about the school year and cannot wait to meet you. Please contact me at mmeadows@k12albemarle.org or by phone at (434) 293-9304 extension 29023
Mrs. Kovach
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 2025 - 2026 school year. Together, let’s make it awesome 🙂 Please contact me at akovach@k12albemarle.org or by phone at (434) 293-9304 extension 29015
