What is Advisory Called Advisory Student and family advocates Small group of students..(12-15
students) Attached to one caring adult Keeping track of progress Communication with staff and family Accountability

How Teams are Schools within a School
Large student populations do not reflect the whole picture
Population divided into 6 smaller groups (teams of 215)
That smaller group is shared by a core group of teachers
During the majority of the day they do not leave that small school…team
Even the Exploratory classes are blocked during the same time
So your student is in a school of 215 students…a very effective, small school
