Each Ridgway High School student is assigned to a teacher/advisor. The advisor keeps track of the student's progress, enrolls the student into needed classes, acts as the student's advocate, and generally watches over the student's progress.
Students meet with their advisor each day for 10 minutes. The advisors relay important information to their advisees during this period. At the end of an Evaluation period this class period is extended so that the advisor can inform their advisees of the step that they are on. Advisors recognize individual students for achievements and birthdays.
During the school year advisories compete against each other in positive ways. The best scarecrow at Halloween, the most decorated door, the most donated toys for charity, etc. The winning advisory gets a pizza party or an appropriate prize for the contest.
