What is...?

Advisories are assigned according to the interdisciplinary teaching teams. Advisory (Advisor/Advisee or A/A) is held at the beginning of each school day, and it is a time during which students and teachers plan and conduct school/team/class activities, discuss rules and guidelines, perform and attend performances, and participate in other activities relevant to student success. Advisors (teachers) act as advocates for advisees (students) and conduct a character education class (KMS period) on Wednesdays. Advisors are/should be the one significant adult on campus besides the counselors, that students can see when they have questions or need assistance.

Students shall wear the school uniform. In addition, shoes, shorts, pants, etc., must be appropriate for school. Clothing that is overly revealing (shorts that are shorter than fingertips) is not considered appropriate. Personal items, which promote or support alcohol, drugs, gangs, profanity, sexual conduct and/or violence are not allowed on campus or at any school-sponsored activity. Students with inappropriate clothing and/or personal items shall be sent to the Principal/Vice-Principal for appropriate consequences. Students shall be bound by all safety regulations regarding dress in all shop and laboratory areas.
