What AVID is NOT
What AVID is NOT
AVID is not an “at-risk” program. It is a program designed to support students who would otherwise not attend a four-year university.
AVID is not for students who don’t do any of their homework.
AVID is not for the consistently “D” or “F” student.
AVID is not a program for unmotivated students. They must have Individual Determination.
