Building Connections Thru Middle School Advisory Program


October 9, 2024


How do you help students feel like they belong at school?


By giving them a safe space to build connections and share emotional check-ins with peers. Here's how our three middle schools — Barr, Walnut, Westridge — came together to implement "Middle School Advisory Time".  A collaborative, daily effort to help middle school students feel seen, heard, and empowered. 


Watch our short documentary (linked above) on the power of a unified approach to "Bulldog Time", "Cougar Time", & "Wildcat Time".
