There are officially 6 weeks of the school year left!

Students need to ensure that they are passing and attending classes so that they do not lose credit.

Credits are lost when a student has excessive unexcused absences and tardies. Talk to your student about the importance of attending and arriving to classes on time.

Within the next few weeks, the counselor will be reaching out to start registering students for Summer School. Please keep in mind if a student failed a core class, they will be unable to attend or enroll for Semester I Summer Dual Enrollment.

Volunteering is important as it helps students not only serve the community but also gain awareness of their roles and responsibilities as young adults. It also enhances college and scholarship applications.

I am always incredibly grateful to the students for participating and for the family's support in allowing them to.

Pictured here are Interact students who volunteered at the Autism Run on April 2.

Students need to pass the TSI ELAR (English Language Arts Reading) by April 29 to continue taking dual enrollment courses during the Fall semester. TSI Math tutorials are available after school Monday-Thursday with Mr. Shea in E206. TSI ELAR tutorials are available Wednesday and Thursday with Dr. Bugtong in F116.

Additionally, every AVID 9th-grade student has been enrolled in the APEX TSI Math and ELAR Prep courses.

APEX is accessible through their Clever accounts.

With the help of AVID students, our Interact Club was able to donate 21 baskets to Ms. Quezada's Pre-Kindergarten class at Vermillion Elementary.

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.
