New AVID ASSIGNMENTS

Hey guys, 
 
Here are some important updates for you. I sent this information in an email but it is summarized here. Please read through this entire email. 
 
I am happy to say we are now offering virtual tutorials as an option to fulfill one of two weekly class requirements. Our tutorial will always be offered on THURSDAY'S from 10am and ending at 1pm. If you are planning to take advantage of a virtual tutorial, you MUST pick a time and subject on a signup genius by TUESDAY of each week so I can arrange to have a tutor present for your session.
 
So, the following is what you will need to complete each week moving forward.    
 

Every week you will need to complete two things for AVID

#1––Every student must turn in a scan of your weekly agenda complete with assignments, quizzes, projects, tests, etc. THIS WILL ALWAYS BE DUE ON WEDNESDAY OF EVERY WEEK. The scan should be sent to my email address: [email protected]. To give you an example, it should look something like this:

* Be SURE your name and date is listed at the top of the page.

* The page should be titled "Agenda 4-13 to 4-17".

* List each of your classes by schedule order.

* Beneath each class, list all the assignments due this week.

* Next to each assignment, include its due date.

     EXAMPLE:

          1st - Chemistry H

               1. Answers to questions 3/13 - due Wed, 4/15

               2. Work log due - due Fri, 4/17

          2nd - Geometry

               1. P. 333 #3-17 odd - due Tue. 4/14

#2–– Lastly, every student must complete ONE of the following options.

* Attend a virtual tutorial and turn in a TRF for credit (grading for the TRF will be more relaxed since there won't be the typical collaboration).

* Turn in one focused note from an academic class.

* Complete a THOROUGH study guide for one of your classes that will help on a quiz or test.

 

I will provide the weekly signup genius link at the end of every week so you can sign up for the following week. If you choose to complete a focused note or a study guide, that will always be due on FRIDAY of each week. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Thanks guys, 

Mr. Doctor

AVID update

Greetings AVID students. I just wanted you to all be on the lookout for an email coming your way in the next 24 hours regarding our next steps. I had a meeting with all the AVID teachers and the tutors last Friday to discuss the possibility of offering you all a learning tool similar to our "tutorials" but obviously a little different. Our wonderful tutors have made themselves available to offer help via Zoom meetings so we are working through the details of that. Our AVID 10 class would have Zoom meeting opportunities on Thursday's from 10 am to 1 pm. The email I send will include more details so please look out for that! Thanks guys– I hope you are all well.

Mr. Doctor

AVID announcement week of March 16-20

Good morning everyone,
 
I hope you are all well. I want to keep things simple during this closure but I'm also sincerely hopeful we can build on the progress made over the last few weeks. I am very happy with the improvements we have made to the tutorial process and on the quality of your focused notes. During these first couple weeks of closure I would like to be sure you keep up with these routines. Therefore, here is what I am expecting of you:
 
1. I would like you to complete ONE TRF form each week (first one due March 20th by 5 pm).  
 
2. I want to see ONE example of a focused note each week (first one due March 20th by 5 pm).
 
You have a couple of options for submission. You can scan a copy of your TRF and focused note and email it to me. You are also welcome to take a picture of these items on your phone and email it. You will receive a grade on each of these assignments based on the rubrics we covered in class. 
 
Please send all submissions to: [email protected]
 
More information to come! For now, stay healthy and on top of all your assignments. This is a very interesting time and the hurdles presented by this situation provide an opportunity for you to prove that you are able to persevere given adversity. In my opinion, this is an opportunity to prove your commitment, work ethic, and level of character. If you have any questions or need my assistance with anything please let me know. I am happy to reach out to your teachers on your behalf if you have any hardships.
