Organization is an important skill in school, career and other aspects of daily life. The AVID agenda is an organizational tool to help students keep track of assignments and due dates all in one place. Students are expected to maintain an agenda, which has been provided digitally on a Googleslide. They are expected to keep it organized using the AVID methods they have been taught and which are listed below. Students will be evaluated on organization, completeness, thoroughness of their agendas on a regular basis.
The agenda is provided digitally for use access, submissions, and use. But, if you are creative type, who loves to personalize or bullet journal. You may use a paper agenda/planner. It is your responsibly to turn in the paper version on time and completed for points. Please see Mrs. Krugle if you have any questions.
Bring your agenda book to school and home everyday!!!
Make an entry EVERYDAY for EVERY CLASS!
Use a consistent format. For example: Class, Assignment, Due Date
Write due dates as dates and avoid using things like tomorrow or next Friday.
Use abbreviations to save space.
Examples: NH=no homework, T=Test, Q=Quiz, RN=Review Notes, V=Vocabulary
Color Code! Each class could be a different color.
Use the digital agenda to manage assignments and time! Include work or extra curricular activities when planning your use of time after school.
Update the status of your assignments. Use check marks when an assignment is complete. Use an arrow when you need to carry an assignment over to another day.
Assignments that are carried over should also be rewritten on the next day.
