Where is your office located within the school?

Mine is on the first floor, right in the cafeteria/gym room. It is SO loud in here, sometimes I can't hear kids talking to me. The nurse's office at the MS/HS campus in below ground level, down a long hallway and is super quiet. It also shares an outer office with guidance counselors which is nice.

We only have one floor. I am in my own office between the main hallway and the office/admin hallway.

Right off the main office.

right off the main office next to the principal and across from the counselor

I'm within the main office. I don't have a door to the main hallway, which I like because I feel that it cuts down significantly on unnecessary visits. It's very quiet, unless there's a student in the office having a breakdown.

Right now I'm in an elementary classroom that is divided into 4 offices - mine, speech, counselor, and a reception type area with copier, paper cutter, laminator, ect. for all staff to use. Its in the elementary section of our school. When out new school is done next year, I'll still be in elementary, but with the front offices with a connecting hallway to the JH/HS so they can come see me easily too.

All 5 health offices are in the main office, somewhere near or between the secretaries and the principal's office. I can usually hear everything going on in the office, but I don't often pay any attention. It's a blessing and a curse because I'm easy to find and everyone knows when I'm there.

I am in a REALLY old building (built in like 1800 something, really something like that)!. Anyway, there are 4 floors, you come in on the ground level and go up one flight (no elevators) to the "main" floor, where the main office is, and my office is on the next floor above that (level 2). I have 2 buildings, and I do about 40 flights of stairs a day (according to my Fitbit!). Elementary school grades K-6, about 400 students.

I'm in the administrative hallway behind a fob-accessed door. It's relatively quiet, but I share walls with the music rooms and the preschool room so it can be noisy at times.

Within the main office with a door to the hallway too. I hate it. No privacy ever. Plus I get asked to cover the phone and doors for the secretary all the time.

You will have to walk straight through the main office to get to my office...

I'm in the basement - the dungeon as I call it. I am the only office there, across from the art room. I'd like to say it is quiet, but art class is never quiet.
