Thank you for a FANTASTIC year!!!
Thank you, our AVID community, for a fantastic school year! I appreciate all of your support and I continue to be amazed and impressed as I watch our AVID students grow into thoughtful students and focused young adults.
To our graduating seniors, thank you for choosing to make AVID a part of our journey. I hope you will take the lessons and skills you have learned with you as you enter the next phase of your life. I have no doubt that you will be successful in whatever path you choose. Please keep in touch!!!
Respectfully,
Heather Dyke

AVID Celebration and Senior Recognition a HUGE success!
Jr High Visits to Welcome our Incoming AVID Freshmen
Teacher Appreciation Week
For Teacher Appreciation Week, (May 8-12), each AVID student was asked to recognize one of their teachers that incorporates AVID strategies in their lessons. Students filled out a certificate of recognition and they were given to the teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Thank you to all all our AMAZING Chandler teachers that value and incorporate these evidence-based teaching strategies. It helps our students be successful when they see us all using similar strategies.

Chandler High Teachers...Enjoy Your Summer!!!
Instead of sharing strategies for teaching your students, I am sharing some "WICOR" strategies for teachers to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES over our well-deserved summer break!
Wander - take time this summer to get out and travel
Invest in your health - spend time taking care of your physical and mental health
Connect - use this time to connect with your family and friends that you have not seen in a while
Offline - we spend so much time on our computers and devices, dedicate some time to unplug and disconnect
Relax - be sure to schedule some time this summer to do absolutely NOTHING!
