Teacher Advisory Disclosure

Purpose: The primary purpose of instituting a 21-minute Teacher Advisory (TA) period at JPJMS is three-fold:

To provide students with the opportunity to "connect" with an adult at JPJMS: someone they can go to for assistance. Students will be assigned the same TA teacher for the three years they attend JPJMS.
JPJMS participates in a school wide Character Education program as part of UBI. TA time will be used to support district Character Education.
During this 21-minute block of time, we will conduct morning announcements and school business.

Grading: The TA period will be graded on a pass/fail basis. 70% or above will be a passing grade. Students will pass TA by their daily attendance and participation. All 9th grade students will receive a .25 high school graduation credit for passing this class. A failing grade will imply non-attendance and non-participation. The TA grade will be included in the student's cumulative G.P.A.

Attendance: Attendance will follow the Utah Compulsory Education Law.

Materials: Students may bring reading materials from home, or check out materials from the media center to bring to class.
