Class Description
Welcome to Advisory!
Advisory class is considered the students' "Home Room." It is the first class they report to for the day. It is my priority to make sure the students are prepared for class, I make sure they have the materials ready for the rest of their classes (pencils, paper, their planner and their binder) so they can start their day on the right track.
​
Parents: you can support your child have a successful day by making sure they have the materials needed for school every day.
​
Thank you for your suppport!
