AVID Information
AVID applications for the 2017-2018 school year are now available for Freshman and Sophomores! During the AVID Elective class, students learn how to take notes, test-taking strategies, time management and proper study skills. Students explore college and career options while working with WICOR strategies (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, Reading). All AVID students maintain the AVID binder, which holds all of their materials from all of their classes. Field trips to colleges start in the freshman year and continue throughout the program. In the junior year, students prepare for the SAT and ACT in the classroom and begin filling out college applications. The senior year helps students apply for college and scholarships as well as introduces them to college like assignments and activities.
You can pick up an AVID Application in the College and Career Center today.
