Purpose:           

• To provide students with academic, organizational, and social support, in order to facilitate success throughout the course of the day
• To establish and maintain a positive relationship between Chelsea School and students’ homes concerning each student’s academic and social growth

The Chelsea School day begins with a 15-minute advisory period.  Each student is assigned an advisor who may remain with the student for multiple years.  The advisor is the student’s most important contact person in school.  The advisor assists the student in planning and modifying the schedule of classes and with individual, school-related problems.  The advisor also helps facilitate the student’s learning in areas of study skills, literacy, and self-awareness of learning profile.  Another key role of the advisor is to maintain regular contact with parents in order to report on school progress and update school news.
