A little summary of the AVID program…..AVID is an elective course, meant to be taken each year throughout high school to ensure your student is on a path to college and/or career readiness. In class, they are taught organizational skills, note-taking skills, study and test-taking skills. AVID tutors also come into the class twice per week to work with the students on student-led and student-driven tutoring for their core classes. They maintain an AVID binder, which they take to each class, and is checked weekly by their AVID teachers. In order to be in the AVID program, a student must take at least two Pre-AP courses that will help prepare them for the rigorous course work of college. In fact, students who challenge themselves and take honor courses are more likely to attend college! We will also bring in motivational speakers, work on team building and building self-worth, goal setting, and students will attend field trips.
