[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently moved to MCPS and have just engage a counselor at one of the schools. The counselor is very unhelpful. What can we do to help our child? She would contact teachers directly or go to the principal?[/quote] Responses above are all from MCPS staff. Call the principal. It is her/his job.[/quote] Depending on the school, the principal has responsibility for 600 to 3600 kids. They cannot get involved in individual cases, including whatever placement OP is trying to get for her kid. Before you go to the principal, work the chain of command. If there is a resource counselor listed, cc them in. If there isn't, then cc the AP. Contacting the principal should be a last resort, because otherwise you are going to be "that parent" for the entirety of your time in the school. [/quote] Thank you, I understand. What exactly is counselor chain of command?[/quote]
