What Does Advisory Look Like?

Advisors work with approximately 15 students from one particular grade and will follow with their advisory group throughout those student's high school careers.  Advisory is a scheduled class period (See Advisory Schedule) that falls in between 2nd and 3rd hour on Wednesdays.  All students at all grade levels will be in Advisory period at the same time throughout the building.  SPASH Faculty members will be the advisors to students in their classroom and will facilitate the advisory activities each week.  Students can communicate any concerns or questions with their advisor as their advisor will serve as a positive mentor teacher throughout their high school experience.
