ADVISORY is where students begin the process of learning about themselves and planning for their future.This program is a structure built into the school day through which an adult and a small group of students meet regularly for academic guidance and support. Within the program, a teacher or school staff member serves as an advisor to a small group of students, connects with their families and collaborates with the school’s counseling staff. Advisory programs aim to lower individual students’ barriers to success while helping students connect with peers.
