Springville Junior High School has started a new program called advisory. Advisory is 20 minutes between third and fourth period on Mondays where students will stay in their third period teacher’s classroom.
During that time, students are able to plan where they will go during Quest Time for the week. It is also a time when the teachers can teach the students lessons on how to become responsible citizens. According to Mr. Ken Van Ausdal, principal at SJHS, during advisory students are able to get extra help and learn social skills. Advisory also helps students adjust to junior high.
“Advisory is here to give students a chance to analyze their grades, and decide which intervention they should attend,” said Mr. Trent Mikesell, administrative assistant at SJHS.
