"ADVISORY" IS ON WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK!
This week we have guest speaker Joel Penton in lieu of advisory. Please remind your 5th hour students of the following instructions on Wednesday:
- Report to 6th hour or you will be marked unverified
- Sit with your grade level just like we do for spirit assemblies
- Scoot in and make room because all students need to be in bleachers and not along the track
Teachers -- please remember to make adjustments to your Liberty Hour tutoring schedule to reflect the advisory day change from Tuesday to Wednesday this week.
February 12 Future Finance Questionnaire
All juniors will participate in Future Finance on March 5th. The students will each need to complete this questionnaire prior to the Future Finance event so their future lifestyle scenarios can be created. If students do NOT complete the questionnaire they will be given a computer generated scenario which will make the event a less authentic experience.
Students will log in with their standard district login without @lps53.org. You can email jordan.levora@lps53.org if any of your students have trouble logging in.

Students may work independently on these. Also, if a student doesn't have their form/has lost it, they can get a new form in the counseling office. If the student has a class question and needs to talk with their counselor, you may send them to the commons as a few counselors will be out there to answer questions during Advisory. Please only send a few students at a time.
