COUNSELOR'S CORNER: UNLOCKING STUDENT POTENTIAL WITH S.U.C.C.E.S.S. IN ADVISORY
AT MEMORIAL JUNIOR HIGH, WE EMPOWER STUDENTS TO THRIVE THROUGH OUR NEW S.U.C.C.E.S.S. IN ADVISORY PROGRAM. EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, STUDENTS ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES AND DISCUSSIONS THAT BUILD LIFE SKILLS, PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITIES, AND PERSONAL GROWTH.
MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND FRIDAYS ARE DEDICATED TO ACADEMIC FOCUS, ENSURING STUDENTS STAY ON TRACK WITH ASSIGNMENTS AND MAKE-UP OPPORTUNITIES. WHAT SETS THIS PROGRAM APART IS THE DIRECT INVOLVEMENT OF OUR COUNSELORS, WHO NOW VISIT CLASSROOMS TO PRESENT ESSENTIAL TOPICS AND OFFER REAL GUIDANCE.
TEACHERS, YOUR SUPPORT IS KEY TO MAKING EACH SESSION IMPACTFUL, SHOWING STUDENTS WE ARE ALL COMMITTED TO THEIR SUCCESS. TOGETHER, WE’RE SHAPING FUTURE LEADERS, ONE SESSION AT A TIME.
