Rams Block + Advisory

Rams Block will now include a mandatory 20-minute homeroom for all students, called Advisory. This time will focus on fostering relationships, delivering announcements to all students, and supporting their engagement within our school community.

  • Advisory: As part of Rams Block, all students will be required to attend Advisory for the first 20 minutes of class (except periods 1/5, which is the last 20 minutes). This time will be designed to foster community, sharing announcements, and social-emotional learning, promoting a positive school culture and student well-being.

  • Mandatory Rams Blocks: On certain days, Rams Block will require mandatory full 90-minute attendance. This extended time allows for deeper engagement with grade-specific programming and dates will be communicated in advance.

  • Rams Pass: This pass will allow Grade 10-12 students to leave their Rams Block classroom after Advisory and move throughout the building. Students must meet specific grade, attendance, and behavior criteria, outlined below.
