Re: Frequency of advisor group meetings

Our Middle School (grade 5-8) meet 4 times a week for 20 min in the
morning for homeroom, Wed morning for Chapel (division wide announcements,
etc) and once a week on Friday's for Homeroom/Study Hall. Occasionally one
of these can b used for a graderoom (full class meeting). We meet once a
year with advisees to go over grades for 20/advisee and once per year for
student-led parent conferences (incl. parents , advisees and advisor) in
grades 6-8.

Our Upper School meets 2 days a s week for 20 minutes for homeroom, once
per week 20 minutes for Chapel and once a week for either graderoom or
community meeting (division wide performance/presentation). They meet once
a year with advisees to go over grades for 20/advisee.
