Hello Orchard Primary families!
My name is Ms. Sam, and I am the Student Wellness Specialist at Orchard Primary. I am excited to be part of the school community and to provide additional support to students throughout their school day.
My role is to help students build skills that support their success at school. This might include managing big feelings, developing coping and calming strategies, building confidence, navigating friendships, solving problems with peers, or working through challenges in the classroom, on the playground, or on the bus.
Support may look a little different for every student. Sometimes it means talking through a problem, practicing a new skill, playing a game, identifying strengths, or simply having a supportive space to regroup and get ready to return to learning.
Student privacy and confidentiality are important parts of my role. I follow applicable privacy and confidentiality requirements, including FERPA and HIPAA requirements as they apply to the services I provide. My goal is for students and families to feel comfortable seeking support and communicating with me.
If you have questions about my role, or feel your child may benefit from some additional support at school, please feel free to reach out. Because I divide my time between Orchard Primary and the high school, email is the best way to contact me. We can arrange a time to talk, and I can also provide you with a link to the consent form if you would like your child to receive ongoing support.
I look forward to supporting our students and working alongside families and school staff throughout the year!
