Beginning in fifth grade, St. Martin's students are matched in groups of eight to twelve with an advisor who is responsible for facilitating their growth in academics, character, service, and personal growth. Advisory groups meet daily for morning meetings and weekly for group and/or individual meetings. These times provide the opportunity for relaxed, informal conversation which strengthens relationships and promotes our sense of community.
The advisory program is an integral part of the overall communication process between parents, students, and the school. The advisor, in conjunction with the subject-area teachers, acts as the initial contact for information pertinent to the student’s overall progress during the year. Each advisor reviews academic progress reports, behavioral reports, emails, etc., to stay current. Advisors assist students in preparing for twice yearly student-led conferences.
The following themes of the program outline the global issues that are addressed within the advisory framework:
- Adjustments to the new school year
Goal setting
Interpersonal communication skills
Academic expectations
Character development
Personal responsibility/ownership of one’s actions
Respect for self, others, and one’s environment
Understanding self and others
Team building
Decision making and problem solving
Community service/community pride
Personal reflections
Etiquette
Preparation for grade level trips and retreats
