In a continual effort by ISA instructors, support staff, and administration to support students, the middle school advisory program`s propose this year will be to create and maintain a strong relationship and effective communication between parents, students, and school.
My objective is to create a positive atmosphere in the school and a positive attitude in student life on and off campus. Any feedback, materials, topics, suggestions by either parents or students will be helpful. Each week we will choose a different topic to discuss or issue to address. Students behavior will be monitored, which means praise for positive actions and suggestions for making better choices.
