Welcome to high school!

Welcome to Mountain Vista High School!!

Welcome to 9th grade!! Class of 2024!

Welcome to Advisement!!

I am so glad you are here!!

The purpose of Advisement is to establish and build a positive, safe, and supportive classroom community. Advisement is a place where we can develop meaningful authentic relationships that will last throughout high school. We will be in the same Advisement class for all four years of high school... We are in this together!! With all of the uncertainty we are experiencing in our unusual, unique, and constantly changing current situation, one of the things that will remain constant is our Advisement class! I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you, and to helping you make the most of your high school experience. Regardless of the situation, you have the power to make the most of any opportunity, and although there are so many things that are out of our control, we can always control our approach and our reaction! We can learn and grow, and do better when we know better. That's the purpose of Advisement: to help us all make the most of it all and the best that we can!

Q: How will we do that?

A: It's up to us!!

Here are just a few ideas:
- team-building exercises and interactive games
- food (if/when we are able to meet in-person)
- celebrations (birthdays, holidays, accomplishments, etc.)
- conversations about academic struggles and successes
- conversations about personal struggles and successes
- community service
- exploring opportunities for involvement at Mountain Vista High School (activities, clubs, sports, etc.)
- engaging in the culture and community of Mountain Vista High School
- learning about and participating in activities and events that impact our school community
- participating in activities and lessons from counseling and mental health about academic planning, wellness, and balancing school and life
- receiving important information specific to the class of 2024

Advisement will be what we make of it -
so... what do YOU want to do ??!!
