Ms. Jacci Grossman, School Counselor
I am so thrilled and honored to be joining Valley View Elementary as the school counselor this year! I am even more excited to meet the wonderful students and families in this community!
I am coming to Valley View from Austin ISD, where I was a school counselor. I have been in education for 10 years and feel blessed to have joined Eanes ISD. I am a proud graduate of Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Arts in English, and a Master's in Counseling and Guidance. I whole-heartedly believe that a counselor's accountability is to curve achievement gaps by advocating for students personal, social, and academic success!
I am originally from South Texas, but have lived in Austin for the past five years and I love it! In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, playing tennis and reformer Pilates!

Ms. Brooke Anderson, Student Support Counselor
Welcome to the Counselor's Corner! I am so excited to be at Valley View Elementary and can't wait to meet students and families!
I have been a licensed clinical social worker in Austin for 16 years. I received my Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Women's Studies at Towson University in Maryland. I then became a Longhorn and received my Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin. Prior to joining Eanes ISD, I worked for six years as a Licensed Mental Health Professional in Austin ISD. I served a vertical team of 11 campuses while at AISD so I am super excited to have one home now at Valley View. I could tell the first time I walked inside the school that it's an amazing place!
I am not a native Texan but once I came here for graduate school I knew I wanted to stay! I love living in Austin because of the beautiful landscape, rivers, hills, the diversity, and the many cultural opportunities. My family loves to hike, camp and kayak in Austin and the surrounding area. Outside of school I enjoy reading, running and of course stay busy with my daughters' many activities. I love to continue learning and growing and am always energized after attending professional development or other trainings. I plan on keeping up an active twitter account (#bandersonvve) with articles and other things I find useful in my work and that parents might also find helpful. Please come to the TLC room and say hello!
