-5-Advisory/Seminar is a 42-minute block at the end of each day during which students are assigned to
individual teachers. The purpose of the block is: to improve academics, to provide teacher mentoring, to do
standardized testing and complete surveys, to hold assemblies for the entire student body, to have club
meetings, and to provide students with study time to complete homework. Advisory, conducted each
Monday, is spent working on lessons designed by the faculty to help the students succeed. Seminar is
conducted each Tuesday through Friday and is similar to a study hall, but students are allowed to travel to
their teachers for help.
A Advisory/Seminar is graded and the credit is required for graduation. The following grading guidelines have

been set up:
1. Each semester of Advisory/Seminar will count for 1/4 credit.
V
2. The credit will be listed as an Advisory/Seminar elective, NOT a credit towards the 12 electives
currently required.
3. Current CHS graduation requirement of 27 credits (15 core/12 electives) will remain as is.
I 4. Students will be required to successfully complete 1/4 credit of Advisory/Seminar for each semester
enrolled at CHS.
S
5. If a student fails to obtain the 1/4 credit for any Advisory/Seminar period in which he/she is enrolled
at CHS, he/she will be required to make up the lost credit through independent study by completing
all of the work required for the affected semester at a cost comparable to summer school. If a senior
O loses the credit during the senior year, the credit will have to be made up the summer after
graduation, thus the senior would not be able to participate in graduation ceremonies.
