Advisory period occurs Monday-Thursday and provides an opportunity for students to check in and ensure that every student knows he/she has an important place in the school community. All Middle School students have a faculty advisor who serves as a trusted adult, mentor, and advocate in the life of the student, and who leads the lessons and activities provided to them. Grade-levels have specific curriculum covering topics that are relevant and appropriate to their developmental stage. Each advisory group is also responsible for coordinating several grade-level assemblies throughout the year.
