AVID Opportunity for 7th Graders
Our 7th graders have an exciting opportunity to join an important college readiness program at Englewood High School!
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a program that prepares students who are academically and personally motivated for admission to a two-year or four-year college, university, or career technical school. The core component of the AVID Program is the AVID elective, which supports students as they challenge themselves in more rigorous classes. Students are taught study skills, note taking, time management, writing and research skills, while being immersed in a college-going culture. The class also includes tutoring sessions that are led by college students, adult tutors, and/or peer tutors and they provide support for success in the academically rigorous curriculum. Additionally, the AVID class provides access to information about colleges and universities through field trips, guest speakers, college tutors, scholarship opportunities and college admission requirement information.
Students will be learning more about AVID during CCR this week. EMS has limited spots available for students in the 7th grade AVID Elective classes. We will be holding interviews and accepting applications from current 7th graders in the upcoming weeks, and students would begin the AVID elective (in place of their CCR class) during second quarter. We hope you encourage your students to take advantage of this opportunity!
