Counselor's Corner 

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Hello.  My name is Michelle Meyer, and I am the counselor at Norfolk Highlands Primary School.  My mascot, Sammy the Seal, and I are here to assist each student in attaining school success!  I love helping students and their families and coordinating with teachers so that each child can have a positive school experience.

So, what exactly does the school counselor do?  This web page gives a brief overview of the role of the school counselor.

Thank you for your support.
