My name is Michelle Patch and I am the School Counselor at Windham Primary School.  I am also licensed as a clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and social worker (LSW) and look forward to working with you in the 2023-2024 school year!

The school counseling program at Windham Primary School is based on the American School Counseling Association Model and our district standards.

As the school counselor I work closely with students, parents, school staff, and community agencies to ensure that students are provided the opportunity to maximize his/her/their social, emotional, and intellectual abilities.
