Start of School Year Delayed Until September 2
Meet Your School Counselors!
Hello! I am, Mrs. Reed, the full-time school counselor at Orchards. I have been a school counselor for 6 years but this is my first year at Orchards Elementary. I am so excited to join the All-Star Team! I believe that all students should feel safe and welcomed at school.
In my free time, I am often camping, hiking or rock climbing with my husband and son. I also enjoy cooking and reading!

Hello All-Stars! My name is Mr. Payette and this will be my 13th year as a School Counselor and my 3rd year at Orchards Elementary School. I split my time between Orchards and another elementary school, so I will be at Orchards on Mondays, Thursdays, and occasionally on Wednesdays. I look forward to supporting students and families. Please reach out if I can be of any help.
In my free time, I enjoy playing with my dog, reading, playing golf, and going to see live music. Some new hobbies I am taking up are starting to play disc golf after taking about 20 years off and playing board games.
