6th Grade Identification

Students are identified by their teams as being a student who embodies the AVID attitude, or who would do well in AVID.  Please see below to read more about what AVID is and what it is not. AVID is an invitation-only program, so not all students can apply.

6th grade identification for AVID begins each year in March for the following school year


6th Grade Presentation

Students who are identified by their teams as potential AVID candidates are invited to attend an informational meeting during their lunch tutorial period to learn more information about AVID. Students will be given an AVID application at this time.

 Students must turn this application in to indicate interest. 

Interviews & Selection

Students wishing to interview for AVID turn in their application at Student Services.  Students are advised about their interview times and dates.  We will notify students who are interviewed afterwards to let them know if they are invited to the class next year, or if AVID is not a good fit. 

AVID Interviews take place in April
