Creating Opportunities NOW to Nurture and Enlighten by
CONNECTING Teachers with Students
Brief Description:
The purpose of the CONNECTS program is to connect all 6th - 12th
grade students to an adult within the school. The goals of the
program are for each student to: 1. Experience a special
relationship with the advisor, which is characterized by warmth,
concern, openness, and understanding. 2. Decrease failure rates by
monitoring academic progress at regular intervals. 3. Have an
advisor who serves as an advocate for students with teachers and
parents.
The CONNECTS groups will meet twice a month for 30 minutes
sessions to participate in lessons aimed toward meeting the
advisement program goals.
