Many teachers have found creating a Google Classroom for their Advisory to be beneficial. This allows you to share the materials posted in Google Classroom for all students to access. It also allows students who may not be in school for an Advisory Day the opportunity to still participate - especially helpful for grade 11 or 12 students who may be on co-op!

Unfortunately, attendance cannot be taken in PowerSchool because Advisory is not a graded class. Several teachers have taken to using Google Sheets to track student attendance each Advisory Day. Please consider using this TEMPLATE to track your Advisory Attendance for this year.
If you have a group that is particularly quiet or reserved, please don't hesitate to conduct an "ice breaker" type question at the start of every advisory that encourages them to share and get to know each other better. If you're looking for help on this, please review the suggestions embedded in the slides or reach out to the Advisory Team for more ideas!
Please send the name and grade of any student who is experiencing difficulty logging into Naviance to Jill Karatkewicz
