Students will have the option to go outside for recess every day Rain or Shine. There will be spaces inside our building for students to go to in the event it rains. They may go to the library (they must sign up in the mornings) or they may be in designated spaces in our common areas. There is no inside gym. On predicted rainy days please ensure that your student brings a jacket and shoes that are suitable for rain. We also have clothing support for students that need it.

Families, we are receiving a lot of requests for student pick up between the hour of 3:00-4:00 pm. Please know that our school hours are 9:35 am-4:00 pm and every minute counts. Please avoid this last hour for pick up as much as possible, and if you do need to pick up your student between this hour please know that there may be a long wait.

What is AVID:

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a nonprofit that changes lives by helping schools shift to a more equitable, student-centered approach.

What is the purpose of the AVID binder?

Organization is an important skill in school, career and other aspects of daily life. The AVID binder is an organizational tool to help students maintain notes and school work in one place. Students are expected to maintain a binder, which has been provided to them along with most of the necessary items needed. They are expected to keep it organized using the rubric they have reviewed during PRIDE.

There will be a weekly Binder Check to support students keeping their binder organized and ensure they have all of their materials needed for class. Students should spend no more than 20 minutes each day organizing and completing their notes.

How can I support my child at home?

Regularly check your child’s backpack and AVID Binder. All papers should be placed in the binder rings in the proper class section. Remove unnecessary papers. We encourage you to reference the attached checklist/rubric.
