Welcome!
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. Services are provided through individual, group, and classroom settings. My classroom guidance lessons are geared around social/emotional learning with focus on concepts such as empathy, acceptance, growth mindset, and respect.
