Purpose

Our Advisory Purpose

    

Our Advisory Program is set up to connect our students to our school, to each other, and to the teachers through their Advisor. The Advisor acts as the point person for the students of their advisory. They are those students' advocates.

           Advisors strive to develop relationships between students and teachers by organizing community building activities within their own advisory and together with all members of the grade level and middle school community. These connections are important building blocks in establishing friendships and learning to work cooperatively in academic team activities. This time is also used to distribute important information ad to organize school activities.

Our Advisory is responsible for

·         Promoting opportunities for social/ emotional development

·         Assisting students with academic problems

·         Facilitating positive involvement between and among teachers and administrators and students

·         Providing an adult advocate for each student in the school

·         Promoting positive school climate
