Have you been wondering about that giant binder your child uses for school? Well, that is a proven AVID strategy at work! Students have much greater success in school when they learn to organize their tasks and work. Having one binder, with everything in its place can greatly improve your child's ability to keep track of assignments and always have what they need, when they need it. Students in all classes at Dent are also working more on their skills in asking questions, writing, and other organizational skills that will help them throughout life.
The AVID elective class is a great way to really dig into these life-changing skills. All students can benefit from lessons that help them set goals, learn motivation, and realize their full potential!
