This year we are continuing to use AVID. We will be focusing on becoming successful students to go to college!!
The students will be using the Organizational Tool again this year. This binder will hold everything!!!! All assignments for all classes and their agenda!!! We will check these periodically.
Students also should have a back pack with just the necessary items in it. Meaning no toys or extra stuff from home!! We will do back pack checks periodically.
