12. AVID Impact This Year
Simple changes in organization with the students who struggled in the beginning of the year.
Students who were once shy now raise their hands to participate and actively involve themselves in discussions.
We have students setting goals to score well on chapter tests with the idea that they want to attend a certain college instead of the beginning of the year where their goals were “I want to score a 90 so I don’t get in trouble”.
Students self advocating for themselves when they need help.

13. 6th Grade Schedule
LPA students take 7 courses on an alternating-day schedule.
Blue Day – 3 classes plus a “skinny” class.
Green Day – 3 different classes plus the same “skinny” class.
Wednesday – No “skinny” class.
Students report to homeroom each day at 8:30am for important morning announcements.
