Academic advisement
Advisors meet with students at their schools. Short group pull-out sessions are scheduled throughout the school year to help students achieve a greater level of success. One-on-one pull-out sessions are scheduled for students participating in the Check and Connect intervention, or as requested by parents and/or students. Advisors monitor attendance, grades, testing results, behavior, and course load. They provide post-secondary planning and career advisement at the high school level. Advisors work closely with parents/guardians, teachers, school staff, and administration to ensure students are getting the best experience possible.

Cultural advisement

One of the goals of our Indian Education program is to increase cultural awareness and knowledge of our student's American Indian Heritage. We strive to instill pride in our students and the belief that the generations before them had value, and contributed to the world they now live in. Advisors create opportunities for students to learn about their culture through community events, field trips, and K-12 lesson plans that they develop each year.
