So my question for counselors is this: How often can you get out of your office to visit classrooms, have admissions counselors in, conduct college fairs, visit college campuses, and just in general not be in your office? Also, what types of activities keep your time occupied during the week?
My question to all counselors is: Shouldn't the I & RS case manager role be rotated amongst all stakeholders? so that everyone has a share in the I & RS committee?
It was meant to be a collaborative effort between school staff, nurse, admin, etc. to support and provide startegies to a teacher who needs help with a student
It has turned into a lengthy due process nightmare meant to CYA with many I &RS team members AWOL or just indifferent
We have high # of free/reduced lunch seniors who miss taking sat's in jr year. We then find out too late that they missed Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec sat exams. They have the grades to attend a 4 yr college. Any ideas on what our school can do to help prepare them so that this doesn"t occur? It's so frustrating..........Thanks.
princessIt seems to be that they don't really want to go to college. If it is important to them, they will be there. If you have to do all this hand holding and "helping" how do you expect themto be successful in college when they are on there own
Miss_TexasYou need to develop a timeline of what to do and when to do it with each grade level. There are fee waivers for students on free lunch. This exempts them from paying fees. The [link removed]!

Did you get any help with this? I need practice with the 7 case scenarios also. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello out there to anyone paying attention!
I am sure that adding an AFS student to your schools would assist your students with learning a new culture and language. Naturally, encouraging them to go on an AFS exchange is even better. Contact [link removed].
