At the beginning of the school year, you will be assigned a individual homeroom advisor. You will meet your advisor on the first day of school for school orientation. During the school year, you will also see your advisor regularly during homeroom period.
Your advisor is someone who is expected to take a friendly interest in the many areas of your school life and is responsible for advising you about academic, athletic, and extracurricular matters. Your advisor will also monitor your overall progress and communicate on occasion with other teachers and counselors if they foresee potential problem areas in which you might need help.

At GSAD, we hope over the course of the year that you and your advisor develop a special relationship that allows you to discuss both personal and academic matters openly and freely. During teacher conferences held shortly after the mid-semester reporting period, your parents will also be able to schedule an appointment with your advisor.
Advisors will also try to guide you with any organizational or time mangement problems you have.
Don't by shy. Talk to your advisor. They will do their best to listen and help where they can. |
