Palmer Trinity School advisors work to ensure that the "whole student" philosophy of the school is carried out. An advisor will advocate, counsel, and mentor students and act as liaison between the school and parents. Communication is key at Palmer Trinity School, so throughout the school year, the advisor assists the student and the student's family in both academic and social concerns. The role of the advisor is that of direct link between student, teachers, and family. Thanks to Edline, our school intranet site, advisors are able to monitor their advisee's grades more efficiently. Advisors conduct weekly meetings with their advisees where they will be able to discuss the "hot topics" on campus. The forty-minute advisor meetings are sometimes informational (i.e. class trips, community service reports). During this time, the advisor gets a chance to touch base with their advisees. Advisors meet with parents to discuss student progress in a prearranged formal student/parent/advisor conference. In addition, the advisor is available for informal conferences with teachers or parents upon request. |
