Academics » Advisor ProgramAdvisor ProgramThe Dunn School Advisor program is the "glue" that makes education at Dunn successful. It is the primary means by which we achieve our goal of ensuring each student "connects" to something while at Dunn that he or she can excel at in life. The Advisor program is also the primary means by which we ensure that we work in partnership with the student, faculty, and parents to instill in each student a commitment to learning. Upon being accepted to Dunn, each student is matched with a faculty member to act as his or her advisor through to graduation. Every effort is made to match students to an advisor who shares common interests, background and beliefs among other things. Each Dunn faculty member is an advisor to between 4 and 6 students. The advisor seeks to remain current with the daily events of the advisee's life throughout the academic year. They do so through frequent contact, formally and informally over meals, on the athletics field, in between classes and on the weekend. The advisor seeks to monitor the student's progress in all areas academic and non-academic. A student's advisor will be involved in any significant discussions about the student or decision made at Dunn School that is related to the student's life or status in the community. Regular communication between the advisor and parents creates a vital link between home and Dunn School. The student's advisor will contact the advisee's parents within the first week of school to provide a personal introduction, home phone number, and review of the advisor's preliminary interview with the child. Periodically throughout the year, the advisor will write comments to the parents and if there is any significant change in the advisee's performance, his or her parents are contacted immediately. Parents should utilize their child's advisor as the first contact for any issue related to their child or questions they may have concerning the school. |
