AVID as an Elective

AVID is an elective (program) that supports students in building their academic skills while planning for their post-secondary futures. Each grade level builds on the work of the previous year to ensure our students continue to progress. They strive to provide support to the content area classes through scheduled work days, grade checks focused notes, as well as Tutorials in the AVID classroom. 

Tutorial and Work Day Support

• Tutorials: Students bring in points of confusion from their coursework and engage in a tutorial session with their AVID classmates. Click here to see an example.

• Work Days: On work days (typically Thursdays this year) students can take retakes, review for tests and complete assignments/projects for their other classes.
