Glad you are here today.

2016/2017 Vision

Wolf Pack Advisory We envision WPA as a mentoring intervention opportunity that expands across the school to benefit both staff and students with a broader connection to attendance and 100% graduation. ***The hope of the advisory team is that...

WPA is... WPA is not...

• An opportunity to bond and make

connections with students within the building

• A way to get students across grade

levels to have a connection

• An opportunity to intervene with

students that would benefit from purposeful conversations (small groups of 5-8 kids)

• A way to extend school-wide

expectations

• A way to make connections to

Words of Wisdom

• Another 30 minute time period to

plan for

• Expecting a product or assignment
• counseling/therapy

2017/2018 Vision

• Greeting
• Whipshare
• Activity
