What is AVID?
AVID is an elective class offered to students who would like to prepare for four-year colleges and universities. Students must have satisfactory citizenship, good attendance, and a G.P.A. of 2.0 or higher. Applicants must be motivated to work toward college eligibility.
In middle school, our task is to prepare our students to succeed in middle school and college preparatory high school classes. In AVID, students are given the support and instruction they need to succeed. The AVID elective teacher, along with college tutors, provide support for students who might otherwise not aspire to go to college. AVID motivates students and provides students with the skills and confidence to reach their goals.
The AVID elective class meets within the regular school day. The week is divided into curriculum days, tutorial days, and motivational activity days. The days devoted to curriculum focus on the WICOR methodologies of AVID: Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading. Aside from WICOR, the curricular days also develop students’ note-taking, and study skills, while also teaching time management, career readiness, and goal setting. In addition, students develop colaboration/team building skills to better facilitate their ability to work effectively in the AVID group tutorial process. Students participate in tutorials with college students wherein tutors provide content area support in math, english, social studies and science.
