Advisory Program

Every student at Vista Ridge will be part of an advisory team that will meet weekly on Thursday mornings. Advisors will remain with the same grade-level advisory team throughout the student's high school career. Our advisory program has three goals:

  • Goal 1: Every student and his/her family will develop a strong relationship with their advisor. Each Advisor will foster open communication will develop between the advisor, student, and parents.  

  • Goal 2: Advisors will work with their advisees to provide regular academic coaching and actively monitor their progress. Students will develop short and long term goals and re-visit them regularly.  

  • Goal 3: Advisees will contribute in a positive way to a school’s climate and develop a sense of Wolf SPIRIT (Service, Pride, Integrity, Respect, Initiative, and Teamwork) throughout the community.

Academic Progress Monitoring

Every three weeks, advisors meet one-on-one with each of their advisees to discuss grades and overall progress. For any student who has a D or F in any class, advisors contact a parent by phone or email to let them know the student is struggling. In addition, these students are assigned to Homework Zone for the next three weeks to get extra help with those subjects they are struggling in. Our hope is to help kids keep up on their learning and not wait until the last week of the semester to try and improve grades.
