Advisory

Arleta High School has built a strong Advisory program to help ensure that all students receive the support needed to succeed throughout their high school years and beyond.

 

 

The Advisory program:

• develops a personal connection between the student and teacher in order to support greater academic success.

• provides the necessary tools to become self-directed learners, effective communicators, community contributors, and critical thinkers.

• allows the students the opportunity to learn life skills needed in post-secondary education and in the world.

• teaches students to develop their Graduation Portfolio.

 

 

In order to pass Advisory and ultimately participate in Arleta High School’s graduation, every student must complete and defend a Graduation Portfolio. Students are required to complete eight artifacts and eight typed artifact reflection sheets each school year that demonstrate the student’s growth in the four learning results: community contributor, critical thinker, effective communicator and self-directed learner, plus key milestones from the Naviance Family Connection program.

 

Students will receive a Pass or Fail grade for Advisory class. In order for students to pass Advisory they must receive a 70% or higher in classroom activities as well as Graduation Portfolio. Your student will be required to complete one artifact and reflection each mester in order to pass Advisory. Also, students must pass Advisory in order to participate in athletics and extra-curricular activities. Below is a break down of how each student will be evaluated.
