Wilson's Advisory / KORT
Advisory is our homeroom class. During advisory/homeroom, students will participate in enrichment opportunities, build organization skills, and learn how to be successful in middle school. The daily bulletin and ASB activities are also done during advisory. Advisory meets everyday except Mondays.
At Wilson, we call our Advisory period KORT. KORT stands for Knights of the Round Table, because we are home of the Knights!
The student bulletin will be read during Advisory / KORT. Additionally, the question of the day will be read during Advisory / KORT. Classes have an opportunity to provide an answer for the Question of the Day in the Question of the Day box, which is located on the first floor hallway of the 1000 building. Every Friday, a classroom will be selected as the Question of the Day winner and they get to keep the Question of the Day trophy in their class for the week.
This week during Advisory / KORT, students will:
- Value Affirmation Activity: Students will identify the values that are most important to them and later participate in a community building activity.
- Assembly Expectations: Students will review behavior expectations for the Winter Concert assembly on Wednesday.
- Wilson Trivia: How well do students know Wilson?
- Students will learn about the upcoming Choir/Guitar music concert.
Every Tuesday, during Advisory / KORT, students learn about the activities during the week. They also update their calendar by adding due dates for assignments and upcoming assessments. Students can also clean and organize their backpacks, which is called Backpack Hospital.
