As you begin to think about electives for next year we would like to invite you to learn more about the AVID Program at MBMS. AVID is a program to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college or university. In AVID we focus on not only grades but developing skills of writing, reading, collaboration and organization. In addition to academic work students build community and family relationships while learning more about their college and university options.
There is an application process for the AVID elective that is linked in the flyer below. If you would like to learn more about AVID please check out this links or join us for a q/a session on March 6th via zoom .
