School Counselling Department Support

This year’s return to school after Spring Break is very different than any of us have experienced before. It is a challenging time for everyone and West Heights Elementary Counselling Department remains committed to supporting the well being of our students and families. If students and/or parents require emotional, social, or community supports you can contact Irene Rogers our School Counsellor or Emily Skillings our Youth Care Worker as indicated below. They will be checking and responding to email during regular school hours and we will make arrangements to communicate either by email or by phone. Counsellor: irene.rogers@mpsd.ca Youth Care Worker: emily.skillings@mpsd.ca
