Advisory:
Wednesdays and Thursdays
> Wednesdays are generally study hall periods. This is an ideal time for all students to work on homework or projects, organize materials, review for tests, update study calendars, work collaboratively, and more.
> Thursdays are focused upon community building time. On these days, we will engage in discussions or activities.
> The year-long focus is upon developing the traits of an RUSD graduate: being engaged citizens, motivated learners, balanced individuals, creative problem solvers, and effective communicators.
Students will also learn about digital citizenship, safety, and identity through modules from Common Sense Media. Here families will also find helpful info including reviews of movies, music, websites, and apps along with advice to help you and your young teen navigate a digital life with smart techniques and healthy habits.
