Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and

Advisory Period This
spring, The
student advisory is designed so each certified staff member is assigned 15-18
students. Students will remain with
the same advisor during their time at Paul W. Bryant. The advisory will serve as an early
intervention for students who need extra assistance in academics or social
issues. It also provides time for
advising and encouraging student involvement in school clubs. A pilot
run will occur during registration week (February 20-23), utilizing the
advisory period to issue registration materials, explain the course
catalogue, and help students make course selections that will best meet their
academic goals. Look for registration
cards coming home February 20, so you can discuss academic options for the
2007-2008 school year. Faculty members
will be available during the week to continue to advise the students and
provide signatures for their registration cards. We will meet again in our advisory period
February 23, 2007, to collect registration cards. Ultimately, the advisory program will run
for the entire year, with advisors and students meeting several times each
semester. We have
high hopes that this program will be a great benefit to our students and will
continue our goal of preparing them to attain their goals. Tuesday, January
