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 this Thursday, May 19th at 8 AM (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.

AVID students are currently working on obtaining their Financing Higher Education certificates. We are using, EVERFI- Grow: Financial Planning for Life dedicated to providing high school students with the skills and knowledge they need to make strong decisions for their financial future. This course will help them identify important stages in their lives to save for, and how they can begin incorporating smart money habits into their lives now. Grow delves into financial goals, saving, budgeting, good vs. bad debt, growing wealth, retirement plans, and how to balance expenses, emergencies and other financial responsibilities while saving for their future.

Our Interact Club is set for the new year. Many current AVID students, along with previous students were selected to be part of the next generation of servant leaders. As their teacher, I am exceptionally proud to see so many students ready and willing to help serve the community.

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.
