AVID A-Day Weekly Email: 1/9-1/12
Welcome back to semester two! Please remember that grades restart at the semester. That means every little point makes a big difference in a student's grade. Please encourage your student to begin their new start on the right foot.
Supply Check: As we start the new semester, I encourage you to check with your child to ensure that they have all the supplies they need to finish the year. School-wide required supplies include: school-issued agenda, pencils, pens, loose binder paper, and highlighters.
No Tutorials this Week: We will not have tutorials this week. Tutorials will resume next week. Students will need to bring a completed TRF for tutorials on Wednesday the 17th.
Weekly Update: This week, we will be reflecting on semester 1 and setting goals for semester 2. Students will also watch a TED talk about focusing on improving daily habits to be more successful at school.
Wednesday: In class, we will complete Journal #1. Then, we will complete a semester reflection. Next, students will create a SMART goal for the quarter. We will finish the day by playing a round of People Bingo, if there is time.
