Advisory Syllabus Instructor: Mr. Andy Stephens Emails: stephensteach@gmail.com Course Description Advisory is a support group of students whom stays together year after year until graduation. Advisory groups are balanced in areas of gender, grade, ethnicity and other ways to maintain diverse voices and perspectives. Academic guidance is a major component of Advisory. It is provided on group and individual levels depending on the issue. Students are always welcome to approach Andy, schedule one-on-one appointments with him and contact him. Objectives

Grading Grading is based upon the rubric. You will complete two self assessments per quarter: mid-quarter and end of the quarter. Updated grades are posted on infinite campus. Late WorkWork is accepted on time with no penalty. Work is accepted after the due date, but within the same unit with a 20% penalty. No late work from a particular unit is accepted after the unit test without a 50% penalty. Students who miss school due to excused absences are allotted the number of missed days to make up the assigned work. This does not apply to group projects. If at the end of the grading period for the course you have earned a grade below a B, you have not met expectations. If there were extenuating circumstances that prevented you from meeting expectations you may write a typed one page request for an extension that outlines why you deserve more time, a list of your missing work, a timeline of when you will turn in each assignment and a signature from a parent/guardian. Such requests will be considered if received by the end of that quarter’s exhibition day.

However, these letters do take time and must be revised so that I can make you sound as awesome as you are. Therefore I have developed some guidelines:
