April 23rd Review for EOC and Block testing

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oO8R0jaA7eZ0o760eWKKT--3bVD5aixg6yAu3ee-kzA/edit

This is the schedule for EOC testing next week. Go over with your students what these days will look like. For lunch on these days you will have your advisory students when they are not at lunch. We will not have specific plans to do so this can be study time, but they are not able to move on the advisory days during EOC. They will eat lunch with their advisory. So you will eat first lunch with the freshman advisory then go to advisory after lunch.

You can chose to do one of the Joyful Jays lesson if you would like

April 2nd Testing

For the testing day tomorrow you will need to go down to the office and pick up your materials by 7:45 and then report to your location by 7:55. You will get a packet of students that will be in your assigned location. This will be a different list than your advisory since they are divided by alphabet. Once lunch is over the students will return to their testing location for study time that is supposed to be quiet time. Zach, Stuart and I will be reading the testing instructions in the testing areas everyone else will be support during the test taking. Here is the list of where students are to go tomorrow. This was sent to the students in an email, but since most don't check their emails you might want to ask at the beginning of your class 7th hour if the students know where to go. I also put the list of the location of each advisory teacher for tomorrow. Email me if you have any questions. 


The roster is the first tab and the second tab is where you are supervising tomorrow.

March 26 ICAP video

Here’s the link to tomorrow's Freshman Advisory screencast.


The screencast walks students through the process of creating their Individual Career & Academic Plan (ICAP), which the state of Missouri requires that all students have on file by the end of their freshman year. The video is a little over 30 minutes long, so the biggest thing advisors need to know is to get it started as quickly as possible so they can get all the way through it before the bell rings.

All freshmen will be getting an email from me tomorrow with instructions on how to access the ICAP document, but if anyone has issues please have the advisors direct the students to me to get them resolved. I will be meeting with all freshmen in the weeks to come to go over their ICAPs and ensure they have been completed accurately.

January 9-11, 2019 Registration

Wednesday (1/9/2019)

Advisors present lesson on reviewing course enrollment forms:

After the presentations, please make sure the students have filled them out (have 7 credits worth of classes)--this includes alternatives (except for core classes). Students may work independently on these. Also, if a student doesn't have their form/has lost it, they can get a new form in the counseling office. If the student has a class question and needs to talk with their counselor, you may send them to the commons as a few counselors will be out there to answer questions during Advisory. Please only send a few students at a time.



Thursday (1/10/2019)
Advisors present lesson on entering courses in PS:

All of the information should be on the PowerPoint--please review before showing students as the students will probably have multiple questions as we are using a completely new system to select and enroll in courses this year! At the end of the presentation, students should be entering their course selections independently in the new system (not PowerSchool). Students may come to the commons to ask their counselor questions--please only send a few student at a time.

Friday (1/11/2019)

Advisors enrollment sheets and return to counseling

Please continue to allow students to enter their courses. Students may come to the commons to ask their counselor questions--please only send a few student at a time. At the end of the advisory or as student are finishing, they must hand in their course enrollment forms to their advisory teacher. Then all of the advisors should bring the forms to Lois Magnuson in the counseling office.
Goal Setting:
  • Goal Setting: Students will set goals and actions steps to achieve desired grades.
    • Students will fill out the form.
    • Students will take a picture of the completed goal setting paper.
    • Encourage students will text or email the image to guardian/home.
    • Teachers will collect and keep the forms.
    • On 1/29 visit with each student to see if they spoke with their teachers. This should not be a punitive conversation. Instead, encourage students to take ownership of their goals/actions by speaking with adults that can support them in achieving their goals!
    • Students will revisit the goals on 2/5, 3/5, 4/2, and 5/7
