Advisory Groups 2012-2013

Once again we will be meeting each Friday afternoon with our advisory groups.  This year the time has been extended to twenty four minutes to get more time with our groups.  We have added a new advisor this year. Coach Bob Sanger has agreed to help out with our program.  This will lower the numbers in the other male groups and get the numbers closer to the girls numbers. 

In our first meeting on the second day of school, we discussed schedules and transcripts so students knew where they stood.  It would be a good idea to talk with your son or daughter about this information. 

Last Friday we kicked off two year long activities.

1. Instead of doing one big food/supply drive for the food shelf like we did last year, we are going to pick one focus item for each month and have students donate that item (toothpaste, toilet paper, etc.) Our groups will take turns delivering the supplies so they will have a real feel for the good that they are doing. 

2. Groups will take turns decorating bulletin boards in the school so we can learn more about each others groups.  There will be a rotation and we will do this throughout the year. 

As a reminder the mission for the advisor program is as follows:

The mission of the West Hancock High School Advisor /Advisee Program is to create a support system for all students that nurtures positive relationships and supports academic success within our school community.

If you have general concerns about your son or daughter not specific to one class I highly encourage you to reach out and get in contact with their advisor.  I have witnessed several examples of advisors helping students get through tough times in school.  The point of this program is to help students and we want to make sure we are all working together!
