Each student is assigned a faculty advisor before the opening of school. It is rare for faculty advisors to have more than eight advisees. Assignments for returning students are based on student preference; the Coordinators of the Advisory System, Mike Gengras for Upper School and Marissa Markonish for Middle School, make assignments for new students. Advisors serve as the primary contact person for parents for any issues: academic, athletic, social or health. Parents should call the advisor with any issues or concerns about their child’s performance.

The advisor meets periodically with each advisee to discuss the student’s progress and to assist in decisions regarding athletics, extracurricular activities, courses and other issues that may impact a student’s personal growth or academic success. The advisor also receives copies of all academic information slips and disciplinary reports. At the end of the first two trimesters, advisors meet with their advisees to distribute and discuss grades.
