  • Hello!

    My name is Tod Gunter and I have been a school social worker in Blaine County since 2000. I'm excited to be a part of the Comet family now at Hailey Elementary!  I love living in the Wood River valley for all the opportunities it provides and my hope is to help provide some of those opportunities for our children. As a school social worker, my role is to be a bridge between your home,  the school, as well as the community.   To learn more about my position, please feel free to call me directly or check out the district's social worker website here.

    I hope that I can be of service to you and your family!

    Sincerely,

    Mr. Gunter
