Hello Parents,
We have some fantastic news! Applications for the AVID program are now open, but they’ll close earlier this year to ensure we can submit course requests to counselors on time. To be considered for this amazing opportunity, students must complete the AVID application and participate in an interview.
Note for Current 7th Grade AVID Students:
Students who are already enrolled in the AVID program as 7th graders do not need to complete a new application. These students have already filled out a decision form in October, indicating whether they will be returning to AVID for the next school year.
