AVID Week 6
We've almost made it through the first 6 weeks!
AVID FIELD TRIP
8th grade AVID students went on their first field trip of the school year on Friday. The ropes course was designed to challenge students to work together and collaborate. It was a fun, hot day!
7th grade AVID students will be going this Friday!
Grades
If a student is failing a subject, he/she will be required to go to tutorials outside of class. I have made passes for every student so they are allowed to go to tutorials before or after school as well as lunch. Keep in mind that if a student fails a subject for the 6 weeks they are automatically on probation in AVID. If they fail again they are removed from the program. Most of the failing grades are due the assignments not being turned in.
Fun In AVID
AVID Tutors
AVID tutors were trained on Saturday. We are hoping they will be assigned to our campus within the next week. AVID tutoring will take place during the AVID class period. Students will be tutored in the subject they are struggling in most and will continue this for 6 weeks. At the end of the 6 weeks we look at grades and see if they need to change tutoring groups. If students need extra help in any other subject, they are to go to tutorials for that class.
