Whew! I thought they remained the same all four years![/quote]
PP was being sarcastic. The intention is that students keep the same counselor all 4 years. However, they have to make adjustments based on counselors leaving, changes in overall enrollment, and just keeping the load balanced. Students that have a lot of personal issues can keep seeing their old counselor if the assignments change. Students with personal issues who don’t fit well with an assigned counselor can see someone else. But the basic administrative stuff (courses, college letter) you are stuck with your assigned counselor. I wouldn’t worry about the counselor letter - a lot of it is mostly templated, and the rest you provide via the interview/brag sheet. I would cc the IB coordinator on emails regarding IB courses. She can intervene if needed.

RM teacher here. I would say most of the RM counselors are really good. A couple are new and okay, they just don’t know enough to be proactive about certain things. However, this year has been insane down in counseling. Off the rails. The usually proactive, fantastic counselors - I never heard from. Which tells me how bad it was. Hopefully courses will get scrubbed this summer and double checked for correct placement. If anyone is uncertain about next year’s courses, you can ask your counselor to send you the current request to double check. They would rather fix things now.[/quote]
