Counseling handbook

Hi,
A few things have come to my attention.  I met with Ruth today and discussed all of these things.  
 

1.  Please become familiar with the Counselor handbook located in the share folder.  It is a fluid document being updated as needed and outlines procedures for the counseling department. 
2. Per our SGTA contract, class size is limited to 36. You do NOT have to accept a 37th student.
3. imbalance among other things.  If they fail BOTH semesters, then it IS in the best interest of the student to try another teacher. 
4. Classes with a prerequisite must be followed.  If your class has a prerequisite and a student is placed in your class and doesn't meet the pre-req, email the counselor and cc Ruth.
5. We do NOT have many semester-long courses which causes problems when students transfer back or into our school second semester.  Counselors are struggling to find appropriate placement for these students.

  
Thanks!
