Dual Enrollment
From Claudia Gay:
Dear parent of a dual enrollment student. If you are enrolling at TCL you DO NOT have to have me sign the form; YOU, the parent are the HS Counselor AND the ECCO coordinator. Miss Cope at TCL was most gracious to clear this up.
Her e-mail reply to me on this is the following:
Thanks for the information. When you (Claudia) sign the Registration Form and Agreement Form, I have to ask you to send emails about course updates because you are listed as the high school ECCO coordinator/counselor. Since the parents serve as the counselor, they should sign as the high school ECCO coordinator/counselor on the two forms and then the course updates can come from them. I just needed to know who serves as the high school counselor.
