The El Dorado AVID Program
El Paso,TX
Communication between the AVID teacher and the parent(s) is essential. The AVID teacher will contact you to share your child's progress, and appreciate and information you share with him/her. At home, you can see to it that your child is doing his/her homework in a quiet place with few interruptions. Students will have homework every night! By asking your child about his/her day, and inquiring about homework and the events of school, you will bridge what could be a great gap between his/her school life and home life. When the two are connected, successes increase. In addition, stressing your belief that your child can succeed in high school and attend college will also motivate him/her to work harder and achieve more. Students have their agendas checked weekly and their binders every two weeks by either a tutor or teacher. Please check your child's binder weekly for organization! Check what your child is doing in his/her classes. Students must fill out their assignment logs for every class! The summary/reflection portion of their Cornell Notes from their core subjects must be completed every evening. Students will participate in community service projects sucj as food drives, etc. Students may attend a field trip only if passing and no discipline problems in their classes!
