Yearly Meetings With Students

I'm thinking of ways to keep in close contact with students. I want each student to meet with administrators and counselors at least once each year. If there are 110 students per year, two adults could easily split each year and meet with 55 students during lunch in the year. That would mean 8 administrators and 8 counselors (I don't know how many admins and counselors I'll have, but this is the general idea). For instance, Mr. Admin A would meet with half of the freshman class (one at a time), and Mr. Admin B would meet with the other half of the freshman. Ms. Counselor A would meet with half the freshmen, and Mr. Counselor B would meet with the other half. Then Admin C and D and Counselor C and D would meet with the sophomores and so on. And all of this would happen each year. That way, each student has one-on-one contact with an administrator and a counselor for 35 minutes each year.

Admins/counselors should ask about how they like school, how their personal life is (check for bullies and the like), how their family life is, studies, what they like about MA, what they don't like about MA, what they would change, how they like high school, what they see for themselves in the future, etc. Admins/counselors should add a short summary of the meeting with observations about the student into the student's file then sort any information that could be useful to the school elsewhere. This information can be brought up every week in meetings.

Admins/counselors should ask students (by email) for the appointment one week before it is to be scheduled then remind them (again by email) the day before. Students can bring lunch to the meeting and eat while the admin/counselor is asking questions and possibly giving advise or answering the student's questions.
