Student Services

Student services is a part of Advent’s effort to ensure that students are strengthened to meet high expectations by supporting and encouraging each child to strive for his or her personal best. Through collaboration with parents, teachers and other resources, our environment fosters each student’s ability to flourish academically, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. Advent will provide responsive services to our community through personal counseling, crisis counseling, problem solving or consultation. Each concern is treated individually and may result in a referral to an outside resource. Responsive services will be carried out through individual, small group, or whole group counseling. To best support each family, students will be monitored by the counselor to assist in student success.

Our social-emotional curriculum is intended to engage the school community to create caring, motivating and equitable learning environments that promote social, emotional and academic growth. Our lessons are taught using the Collaborative Association for Social-Emotional Learning’s core competencies. The competencies provide the framework that strengthens each student’s ability to effectively and ethically deal with daily tasks and challenges.

Social-emotional lessons are led by the homeroom teacher and are also reinforced through monthly guidance lessons with Jennifer Dunn. We are proud to offer our students these lessons which are designed by RethinkEd. This curriculum allows for a stronger parent-teacher collaboration as each student’s progress is monitored and information is sent home so that discussions may continue.
