Counselor Corner
Upcoming Advisory Lessons
At the start of each year, we talk to all students about the importance of respect, responsibility, and relationships, or "the 3 Rs". "The 3Rs" make up what we call "The Gregory Way". They are our core values. We try to incorporate "The Gregory Way" in everything we do.
This quarter, we will again visit advisories for a follow-up lesson. During this lesson, we will be engaging students in conversations about how they can show greater respect, maintain proper responsibility, and build appropriate relationships while at Gregory. Through these guided discussions we hope that students will walk away with a greater understanding of how each “R” can lead them to greater academic success both now and in the future.
We encourage you to speak with your child about what "The Gregory Way" means to them and how they can take those values and apply it to their life both in and outside of Gregory Middle School.
