When? My Westfield freshman staying at Westfield says he doesn't know who his counselor is and has been told nothing about classes next year.

FCPS probably gave the counselors a deadline for meeting with Skyview kids.

Our counselors have been sloppy and lazy but they met with my freshman and junior weeks ago. I thought it was a little late TBH. Guess Westfield is even worse.

How many students on average in FCPS does a HS counselor carry per counselor? Just curious.

+1 for my freshman as well. Got the course selection email from the counselor last week.

Meeting with the counselor is supposed to be the FIRST STEP in selecting classes for next year. Then the student discusses with parents, the parents consult with current teachers and the counselor, and everyone reaches a consensus on the best plan for the student.

How is a HS freshman expected to accomplish that in two days before the "deadline"?

These freshmen still haven't met with the counselor. She might have been planning on meeting with them on Thursday, or Friday! When you can't make changes AFTER Friday. So the parent would have zero input into the courses selected?
