For the third year, the 32-minute Tuesday class period of advisory is returning to Sherwood for the 2016-17 school year. Since there have been mixed reviews regarding the class and questions of whether it is serving its purpose, administration randomly selected 70 students for a survey and asked questions that discussed both positives and negatives of advisory and whether it has been helpful. They also got input from the students on possible improvements.

The staff also was presented with a survey that informed teachers that advisory would return next year, but it asked for staff opinion on how to go forward with the program. The administration maintains that advisory builds bonds between students and their teachers.
