How a Simple Weekly A-B-C Check-In Improved Attendance, Engagement, and Passing Rates Many secondary schools struggle to make advisory periods meaningful for students and manageable for teachers. At Alta High School, the Building Leadership Team developed a simple weekly check-in system that helps students track three key indicators of success: Attendance, Behavior, and Class performance (A-B-C). During advisory, students review their grades, identify missing assignments, and set short-term goals while teachers engage students in quick academic conversations. This simple structure encourages accountability, increases teacher-student interaction, and helps students stay aware of their academic progress. Since implementation, Alta has observed improvements in attendance, passing rates, and advisory participation, along with stronger relationships between teachers and students. In this session, participants will learn how the A-B-C Check-In works, how it was implemented during advisory, and how other schools can adapt this practical structure to strengthen student engagement and academic awareness.
