Welcome to the Nimitz AVID Page! As an AVID school, we do our best to instill instructional habits that encourage College and Career Readiness. Teaching organizational skills, WICOR writing strategies, and methods of inquiry (among others), our Nimitz students will excel in society that demands long term goal creation and achievement. Please see examples of our AVID achievement below.
SY24-25
Grade 4: Our AVID-inspired "Turkeys in Disguise" display is ready to serve! Each 4th-grade student has “dressed” their turkey in creative camouflage, including students, soldiers, ballerinas, surfers, grass, and many more. Alongside these imaginative costumes, students have cooked up some pretty persuasive and narrative essays detailing why you should pass on turkey this Thanksgiving—or why they're simply too well-disguised to end up on your table. We invite you to feast your eyes on the creativity and storytelling behind each unique turkey!
Grade 3: Each third grader created a personal monster that parallels their descriptive writing lessons. Students brought their picture to life with creepy and creative adjectives to share with the whole school.
