Current AVID Goals 

We are in our fifth year of AVID implementation at Creative Arts.  Our current goals connect to AVID's goals of schoolwide instruction, organizational systems, leadership, and building a culture around college and career planning for ALL students.

Our AVID Site Team meets at the beginning of the year to set school-wide goals for all students at CASS.

Our goals for the 2023-2024 school year are:

Teachers will have access to discourse strategies that could be used in their classes.

All students will have access to a planner and other organizational materials needed for each class throughout the year.

Check-out our "Organize It" Cart that has free organizational materials for any student at CASS.


Some of our ongoing initiatives include:

Offering and strengthening AVID elective courses in grades 7-12.

Providing all staff with AVID training. 

Utilizing WICOR strategies schoolwide, including the use of Focused Notes and providing ALL students with a planner.

Actively guiding students in post-secondary planning and creating more opportunities for college talk amongst staff and students.

Within our first 5 years of implementation, it is our goal to move from "AVID Implementation Expectations" to reaching the distinction of "Emerging AVID Schoolwide."
