    Student Responsibilities:       
    • I will maintain a 75 or higher in all classes or will be placed on a probation contract.

    • I will maintain the AVID three-ring binder [with calendar/agenda, Cornell notes, assignments in all classes, and Tutorial Request Forms (TRFs)].
    • I will carry my AVID binder to all my classes everyday.
    • I will be an active learner, be prepared for all classes with all assigned work completed, take Cornell notes daily, and be an active participant in all activities. 
    • I will complete all homework assignments (commit to two hours of homework every night).
    • I will participate in AVID tutorials at least twice a week.  I will come to AVID class prepared for tutorial sessions with the TRF pre-work completed, AVID binder with Cornell notes, and textbooks.  I will use critical thinking, inquiry, and collaboration with my classmates to create greater understanding about my point of confusion.
                             
     
    Parental/Guardian Support
    Parental/Guardian support is very important for the success of the student in the AVID program. You can support your child by:
    • Attending the AVID meetings, one per semester. 
    • Attending mini workshop sessions, geared toward learning more about the binder and AVID strategies together with your child.
    • Going over the binder with your child as often as needed to ensure that the requirements are in place.
    • Signing the reports sent by the AVID teacher, when grades fall below 75 in any class.
