Students have been working on the individual components and compiling them since February 11. The last assignment submission was on April 14.

They have had about 30 days to make up and add any pending items. It is imperative that they complete any pending items by the designated submission time. If you would like to know your child's progress on their Semester Exam please feel free to contact me during my conference 9th period.

AVID students are currently working on obtaining their Financing Higher Education certificates. We are using, EVERFI- Pathways: Financing Higher Education. Pathways is dedicated to providing high school learners with the skills they need to make the best decisions for themselves when financing their higher education. This course will help learners understand how to evaluate the return on investment of their higher education options, make good choices when evaluating their path, and make a plan to successfully pay their education costs. The course further delves into responsible budgeting for higher education loans, repayment, and avoiding the common pitfalls of borrowing.

Students who applied for Summer Dual Enrollment courses recently received an email indicating which courses they were approved to enroll in for the Summer.

Registration for students in the cohort BEGINS MAY 19th at 8AM (they will register using SECTION E), 5 days before the rest of the student population. Approval to enroll is not enrollment. Students must self-register. Spots are not guaranteed so it is highly recommended that they take advantage of the early registration opportunity.

Congratulations to all the students who were celebrated on April 27. In all 44 AVID students, ranked among the 67 students selected in the top 5 and 10%.

My name is Mrs. Tolman and I am the 9th Grade AVID teacher. I come from a family of educators who firmly believed that an education never ends.
During the summer of 2021, I was certified as a Yoga Instructor with Breathe for Change. A program that is designed to create Social Emotional Learning Facilitators and teaches how to guide trauma informed yoga. We have successfully been able to bring yoga into our campus and currently offer five yoga classes before and after school. It has been amazing to see the practice come to fruition on our campus.
I have completed my Masters of Science Education in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, along with the Integrated Leadership Principal Preparation Program.

I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. I am also serving as a Teach Plus intern for the 2021-2022 school year.
