Welcome to AVID & Language Arts

Plan for Success

• You will need your binder, a pencil, and your reading materials each day
• Planners are filled out on Monday. Refer to them for due dates and to know what you miss if you are absent. We will refer to planners daily.
• Keep your materials organized to be successful.

Check your grades; you are in charge of yourself and your effort!
