Wizard Period/Advisory
PHA’s Middle School Wizard Period or Advisory Program is not a separate program, but instead a systems change that brings students, school staff, parents, and the community together to improve each student’s educational experience by connecting academic rigor, strong relationships and social-emotional learning together.
Each student will have an adult advisor who takes an interest in the student’s successful learning and personal growth. Advisors also aide in the development of life skills include leadership, teamwork, ethics, accountability, adaptability, personal productivity, personal responsibility, people skills, self-direction, and social responsibility.
