We have all survived our first week of school and are off to a great start! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, as well as so many new faces who have committed themselves to rigorous classes and excelling at academics. We are in the midst of covering AVID basics such the Binder, Cornell Note taking, Organizational skills, etc. We will have our first Binder check next week on Thursday or Friday. As it is worth 30% of your grade, please be sure to have a pencil pouch, dividers, agenda, and most importantly, Cornell Notes in all academic areas. Juniors need to be taking the SAT or ACT this fall, and Seniors need to be filling out college applications right now!
