Meet the Cooperative Virtual Learning Academy K-8 School Counselor

K-8 School Counselor Jaime Gibbs

Jaime Gibbs, CVLA guidance counselor, who has shoulder length blond hair and is wearing black horn rimmed glasses and a yellow sleeveless blouse, looks at and smiles for the camera.Mrs. Gibbs serves as the school counselor for grades K-8 at the Cooperative Virtual Learning Academy (CVLA). She was born and raised in Saratoga Springs and currently resides close to her hometown with her husband, toddler and therapy dog, a goldendoodle named Auggie. 

Mrs. Gibbs values outdoor activities, spending quality time with loved ones, and maintaining an active lifestyle. She enjoys moving her body, embracing moments of silliness, indulging in both rainbow sprinkles and kale (though not together), listening to Taylor Swift and sharing cozy moments.

In challenging situations, Mrs. Gibbs employs several effective coping strategies. She engages in outdoor activities, particularly taking long, brisk walks when possible. She also finds relief in discussing her feelings with a trusted individual and makes a point to stay hydrated by drinking a large glass of cool water.

Throughout her career in education, Mrs. Gibbs has worked with diverse populations of students and is deeply appreciative of the opportunity to support the students in the CVLA.
