What is Advisory Class

Advisory is a class to help prepare students for Student Led Conferences in November, help students transition into middle school by connecting them with a trusted adult who will be checking in with them on grades and performance, and to help deliver Social Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons. We will be using the Character Strong curriculum to deliver the SEL lessons, which is much needed, especially in our current situation. We work on building positive character traits through the use of videos, group discussions, interactive activities, and providing students with opportunities to engage in “Character Dares” to challenge them and help them grow as they work on character development. These lessons will be taught on Tuesdays during our 8^th Period, Advisory classes.
