On Tuesday, September 27, we had 6 current ETHS seniors who have done 4 years of AVID come to our AVID classroom to share their experience. Four of them were former Nichols students! These quotes are what they had to say about AVID. They shared their college goals and how AVID has supported and helped them to be successful in high school. They also had fun with our 6th graders and shared their hobbies, favorite songs and favorite tv shows. It was a great experience for our middle schoolers to hear the benefit of being a part of AVID!

Here are ways you can support your AVID scholar at home:

1. Make sure that your child has their binder with them each evening.
2. Check the binder each Thursday evening because they have a binder check every Friday.
   
3. Provide a space for your child to study and keep completed assignments at home
