Would you like to become an AVID scholar?
AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination.
Within the AVID elective class, students hone their note-taking skills, organize a comprehensive student binder & engage in collaborative activities designed to prepare students for post-secondary educational environments. Students also have the opportunity to attend college visit field trips every semester in the AVID elective class. To learn more about AVID & what they do, please visit the AVID Website!
The AVID elective course has specific requirements that every AVID elective student must meet. For example, students enrolled in the AVID elective are required to enroll in at least one Advanced Academics course each year. Students may enroll in Pre-AP courses in the area(s) of their choosing. In addition, AVID elective students participate in small group tutorials each Tuesday & Thursday in the AVID elective course. In order to be prepared for tutorials, students must complete a Tutorial Request Form (TRF) prior to the start of class on tutorial days.
