Mission
The main objective of the St. Luke’s Episcopal School Middle School advisory program is to create a relationship between the advisor and advisee, as well as between the advisor and parents.  The advisor is a mentor, role model and advocate for the students and an additional school contact for the parents.  Advisors are responsible for mentoring students both individually and as a group, maintaining an open line of communication.

Benefit to parents:
Parents have the advantage of having a single point of contact with the Advisor to address questions or concerns regarding their students.  The first point of contact for an academic concern should be the classroom teacher, although a parent might wish to discuss the concern with the advisor first.  Social concerns should be brought to the Advisor first, so he or she can investigate and address those concerns and advise on further action.  More so than any classroom teacher, the Advisor will forge a stronger bond with the students and will therefore be the best person to approach.

Benefit to students:
The students will have the benefit of a small, cohesive group with which to grow and learn about themselves and each other in an emotionally safe environment.  Topics tackled in the advisory program deal with the highs and lows of growing up.  The goal is for the Advisor and the small group to create a tight bond.
