RMS AVID Student Contract.pdfCan students be dismissed from the AVID program?
Can students be dismissed from the AVID program?
Although AVID attempts to address a number of concerns that can get in the way of school success, there are occasions when students are not successful in the AVID program and/or the required college preparatory courses (course of rigor).
If a concern for an AVID student arises, the AVID teacher, counselor, student, and a guardian will meet to discuss the concerns. The student will be placed on a 'probationary status' with a deadline to address student concerns. If improvement is not seen in the student's performance and/or attitude, the student may be removed from the AVID program.
Possible Reasons for Program Dismissal
Student does not complete homework, keep an organized AVID binder, complete and turn in assignments on time, and/or does not prepare for classes.
Student is no longer enrolled in the required course of rigor.
Student has classroom behavior or disciplinary concerns
Student qualifies for services that more appropriately meet his/her needs.
Student is a chronic absentee
